Car Crashes in New Mexico

Roadways in New Mexico are far from safe. In fact, according to a recent study, the state has a particularly high number of reckless and drunk drivers compared to the national average. The data show that New Mexico has the second-worst drivers in the nation. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration placed the state fifth for reckless driving collisions, twelve for accidents involving speeding, and tenth for the number of drunk-driving-related arrests in 2014. Driving in New Mexico is dangerous even for drivers who follow all the rules of the road. You should make sure you are prepared if a negligent driver causes you harm as a result of a serious car accident. 

You are never completely prepared to be involved in a car accident. Many New Mexico residents sustain serious injuries as a result of vehicle collisions, and you may be able to pursue a claim for compensation if you were hurt by a reckless driver.

Your lawyer will be able to step in and take over negotiations with the insurance provider to ensure you are not unfairly treated during your case.
