Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

It is no surprise that distracted driving continues to be a serious problem in New Mexico. In fact, statistics show that inattentive drivers cause the majority of collisions in the state. A distracted driver caused a car crash in the state every 56 minutes on average in 2017. There were 9,386 distracted-driving accidents reported in the state that year. There were 10 related fatalities per every 100,000 New Mexico drivers in 2020. There were 382 fatal collisions in the state that year caused by driver distraction, making up nearly 36 percent of traffic fatalities in New Mexico overall. 

Your life can be completely turned upside down in a matter of seconds if you are involved in a serious car accident. You can be driving down the road one minute and then the next your car is in the ditch as you have to deal with extensive pain. This is never something that anyone plans for, but unfortunately, many New Mexico residents find themselves the victims of serious car accidents each year. Most people have limited experience with the law and do not know how to go about the claims process in order to pursue compensation for their damages. 

After a car accident, the insurance provider will likely send an adjuster to contact you. The job of this adjuster is to get you to accept the smallest settlement possible. While what they offer you may seem appealing at first, you may later come to find out that you suffered much more serious injuries than you thought. You need to have a strong understanding of the true value of your claim to make sure that you are able to get a fair settlement that is enough to cover the full extent of your losses.
