New Mexico Car Wrecks
There is always a risk of being involved in a car accident when traveling on or near the roadway. Each year, there are more than 43,000 fatal collisions reported nationwide. The fatality rate for car accidents is actually under one percent, but car crashes still are the leading cause of death and serious injury in New Mexico and the rest of the country. More than 2 million people suffer permanent injuries in car crashes each year, with more than 6 million auto accidents being reported each and every year.
A car accident can be one of the worst experiences of your life. You can never be fully prepared for a major collision, and after being struck by a careless driver, you will probably be dealing with severe, possibly even fatal, injuries. A common mistake made by crash victims is to put off visiting a doctor. Because adrenaline is rushing through their bodies, many injured parties believe they were not seriously hurt. It can be hard to understand the full extent of your injuries.
Visiting a physician can assist in establishing a clear link between your injuries and the vehicle collision, and they can also help you determine how seriously you were hurt in the collision. By doing this, you will decrease your chances of accepting an unfair settlement offer from the insurance company when they get in touch with you right after the collision. It is common for insurance companies to take advantage of crash victims in their state of being overwhelmed, and you need to be armed with the right information in order to make a complete recovery. A trained attorney can help you every step of the way.
