New Mexico Car Crashes 

Car wrecks happen in New Mexico at an alarming rate. The New Mexico Department of Transportation states that almost 400 people lose their lives per year due to auto accidents. Approximately 20,000 are injured in these wrecks that occur approximately once every half hour. Each year, over 40,000 auto collisions take place in the Land of Enchantment. 

Currently, the main cause of car wrecks in the state of New Mexico is driver distraction, with speeding coming in at a close second. These two types of driver negligence cause millions of injuries every year in the United States and thousands in New Mexico. Driver negligence is a serious issue in America, causing more injuries and deaths than bad weather and vehicle malfunctions combined. 

When you or someone you love has been hurt in a crash, it is vital to know whether or not it was your fault. This is because if you did not cause the wreck you were injured in, you could be eligible to collect financial compensation that could help you recover.
