Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

Some of the worst drivers in the country live in New Mexico. No matter how cautious you are behind the wheel, car accidents still happen, and you have no control over what other people do on the road. In the Land of Enchantment, driver distraction was the primary cause of car accidents in a recent year. Nearly 21.5 percent of injury crashes and 8.3 percent of deadly collisions in the state that year involved driver distraction. Statistics show that distracted drivers claim the lives of almost 3,000 people each year on American roads. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a collision, you need to be ready to pursue a strong claim for recovery.
