New Mexico Distracted Driving Accidents

Driver distraction is one of the main causes of traffic accidents in New Mexico. The most recent crash statistics in the state show that distracted driving accounts for about 22 percent of all reported crashes. A new study found that driving while inebriated can be just as harmful as driving while distracted, but driving while intoxicated is stigmatized far more than driving while distracted. Every year, distracted driving claims the lives of about 3,000 individuals in the nation and leaves hundreds of thousands more seriously injured. The actions you take following a catastrophic accident are crucial, and in order to pursue a complete and just compensation claim, you should always work with an experienced personal injury attorney.
