Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

Driving requires complete focus on the road, although many drivers fail to pay attention when they operate a motor vehicle. A growing number of serious collisions in New Mexico and the rest of the nation are being caused by distracted driving. Every year in the United States, drivers who are distracted cause over 3,000 deaths, with countless more suffering serious injuries. While it is common knowledge that texting and driving can be risky, other activities that might cause distractions while driving include eating, conversing with other passengers, and even fiddling with the radio. Driving a motor vehicle requires you to pay close attention to the road, and in the event of a serious collision, you should be held accountable for your actions.

It only takes a few seconds for a reckless driver to change your life forever, and crash victims frequently sustain serious injuries as well as severe damages.
