An incredible number of crashes nationwide are caused by distracted driving. We see drivers gazing down at their phones at stop signs and while operating a vehicle almost every day. According to recent research, a significant percentage of drivers readily admit to using their phones while behind the wheel. New Mexico has one of the highest rates of crashes involving driver distraction. Statistics show that about 40.75 percent of collisions in the state involve distracted motorists, nearly five times higher than the national average. In the state of New Mexico, you are entitled to just compensation if you are injured by a distracted motorist and, if you want to pursue a claim against the driver who caused a serious collision, it is always advised to speak with knowledgeable legal counsel.
