New Mexico Car Accidents

Major car accidents wreak havoc on the lives of those involved in them. When you or someone you love sustained injuries in a car wreck, you may be suffering for a long time afterward. You may be dealing with serious injuries that leave you with debilitating pain. You may have to spend a prolonged period of time in the hospital undergoing surgeries, physical therapy, and other invasive medical procedures. You may also be stuck paying outstanding medical bills and vehicle repair costs and lose much-needed time at work. 

Car accidents are, unfortunately, rather common in the United States. On average, over 6 million car crashes occur annually throughout the country. These wrecks cause more than 3 million people to sustain injuries and over 40,000 to lose their lives. Alarmingly, the majority of American car crashes are caused by driver negligence. Driver distraction, fatigue, intoxication, and speeding lead to millions of auto accidents annually.
