Distracted Driving in New Mexico

Some of the worst drivers in the country are in New Mexico. It is true that even if you abide by all traffic laws, accidents can still happen to you and that you do not influence other people’s behavior when driving. Driver distraction was the main cause of automobile accidents in the state in 2018. According to additional statistics, driving distraction was a factor in about 21.5 percent of collisions that resulted in injuries, 20.3 percent of collisions that caused property damage, and 8.3 percent of collisions that resulted in fatalities that year.

If you are driving on or near a road, an automobile accident could occur at any time, so you should be ready to pursue a claim for damages. Nobody ever expects to get hurt in a car accident, but for many people in New Mexico, it is an unwelcome reality. If you were in an unfair traffic accident and suffered injuries, you should be ready to seek full and just compensation for your losses. The at-fault driver’s insurance company will attempt to either reject your claim outright or, at the absolute least, persuade you to accept a settlement offer that falls short of fully compensating for your losses. For this reason, you should work with a reputable lawyer who is prepared to stand up for you and your right to recompense.
