New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

The number of crashes caused by distracted driving in this country is astounding. Almost every day we witness drivers looking down at their phones while at stop signs or behind the wheel. Recent surveys reveal that a sizable portion of drivers freely acknowledge using their phones while operating a vehicle. New Mexico has one of the highest rates of distracted driving-related collisions. According to statistics, distracted driving is suspected in about 40.75 percent of collisions in the state. This number is around five times greater than the national average. If a distracted driver causes you harm while driving in New Mexico, you have the right to seek just compensation. It is always recommended to consult with an experienced legal counsel if you wish to pursue a claim against the driver who was responsible for a serious collision.

In order to maximize their profits, large insurance firms fight to make sure that the crash victims get the least amount of compensation possible. Despite the insurance company’s best efforts to present its settlement as fair compensation for your losses, our legal team is aware of the common tactics used by these businesses. We can help you manage the negotiation process to ensure you are able to collect the greatest value of your claim. You do not want to leave your recovery to chance. If you accept a subpar settlement, you effectively give up any further recourse to get additional compensation for your case.
