Rollover Accidents in New Mexico

A rollover crash can happen due to many reasons, but ultimately these accidents are caused by the reckless actions of other drivers. Certain types of vehicles are more likely to overturn in a crash, including pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles. The popularity of these vehicles in recent years has resulted in a steady increase in the number of rollover accidents. In 2019, there were 6,358 people who were killed in rollover accidents in the United States. Almost 74 percent of these deadly crashes involved an impact before the rollover itself. Almost 28 percent of passenger vehicle deaths in 2019 involved rollover collisions. 

You can never control the actions of other drivers, and many Albuquerque residents suffer injuries in car accidents every year. The state is home to some of the worst drivers in the state, and that means a car crash can happen at almost any time when you are traveling on or near the road. Serious crashes are the leading cause of death and serious injury for state residents, and you need to be prepared to protect your rights if you are unexpectedly injured in a serious car crash. This means consulting with a trained New Mexico personal injury lawyer in order to determine if you have grounds to pursue a claim for compensation. 

You should never be on your own after a serious crash. You need a trained legal team that can step in and ensure that your legal rights are secured.
