Driving in New Mexico is far from safe, and car accidents continue to be the state’s top cause of fatalities and serious injuries. Some of the worst drivers in the country call New Mexico home, and this is confirmed by recent crash statistics. Albuquerque drivers are also notorious for bad driving, and the city had the highest number of crashes in the state overall in 2019. There were 19,034 collisions reported in Albuquerque that year alone. A car accident was reported every 27 minutes on average somewhere in Bernalillo County. If you or a loved one is hurt in a crash, you should consult with a competent legal team as soon as possible to pursue a strong personal injury claim and seek a complete recovery.
