Auto Accidents in New Mexico

The road can be a very dangerous place. Statistics reveal that drunk drivers were responsible for about 36 percent of traffic fatalities in New Mexico in 2022, resulting in 170 deaths.

You run the danger of not receiving the fair compensation you are owed to cover your damages if your case is not handled properly. You must make sure that you take every possible step to guarantee a full recovery, and this often means working with a qualified lawyer with years of experience handling injury claims.
