Distracted Driving in New Mexico

New Mexico drivers have been identified as some of the worst in the nation. It is a fact that you can never completely control the actions of other drivers, and you can be hurt in a crash even if you follow all the rules of the road. In 2018, driver distraction was the primary factor in car accidents reported across the state. Statistics further show that around 21.5 percent of injury crashes,, 20.3 percent of property damage accidents, and 8.3 percent of fatal collisions that year involved some sort of driving distraction.

Anyone can be hurt by the actions of a reckless driver, no matter how safe of a driver you may be. You need to be prepared if you are unexpectedly injured by the actions of another motorist. It is common for crash victims to be unsure of what to do in order to make a complete recovery.  You need to do everything in your power to make sure that you are able to get a full recovery after a car accident.
