Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

If you are unfamiliar with a location, there is nothing wrong with slowing down in traffic to orient yourself. On the other hand, if a driver is looking down at a phone or even just adjusting the radio dial, they could miss traffic hazards and cause a serious collision. Driver distraction is a serious issue in New Mexico, contributing to a high number of fatal car accidents annually. According to data, driver attention caused almost 36 percent of the state’s traffic deaths in 2020, ranking New Mexico as one of the worst states for distracted driving collisions in the country. 

It is the driver’s responsibility, not the victim’s, to take responsibility when they cause a serious crash. The person who caused the collision could be found liable if the victim chooses to pursue a personal injury claim. Unfortunately, this is far more difficult than it looks. It is common for crash victims to be unclear about where to begin the healing process, so you should not leave your recovery to chance. In order to optimize your chances of receiving full compensation, you must ensure that all relevant actions are performed in cooperation with a trained attorney. 

It must be demonstrated that the driver’s actions, whether negligent or reckless, contributed to the crash. Doing this by yourself can be challenging. A lawyer will know where to search to obtain the necessary proof to support your allegation. In order to free you up to concentrate on your health and well-being, your lawyer can also assist by handling the more technical aspects of your case.
