New Mexico Car Wrecks

A car accident can take place at any time, and you need to be prepared if you are hurt by a reckless driver. New Mexico is home to some of the worst drivers in the country, and that means you are at heightened risk of being seriously hurt while out on the state’s roadways. There were 48,124 car accidents reported on the state’s roads in 2019. That is an average of a collision taking place every 11 minutes. Less than 1 percent of these collisions are fatal, and almost 30 percent result in injuries. Driver inattention contributed to nearly 19 percent of crashes in the state that year. 

You likely have a lot of questions if you are injured in a car accident. You are experiencing a whirlwind of emotions and probably suffered serious injuries in the process. The act of taking legal action for financial restitution can seem overwhelming and intimidating, and this is especially the case if you have limited experience in the law. You will have to negotiate with the insurance company in order to get the compensation you are owed for your injuries and other damages. 

Unfortunately, you will not be starting off on even footing. The insurer will have experience handling these types of cases, and victims often lack any experience pursuing a compensation claim. The insurance company will use tricks and other tactics in order to limit your overall compensation. Instead of taking on a large insurer on your own, you need to hand over negotiations to a skilled attorney who has the right experience and can make sure your case is treated fairly.
