Fatal Car Crashes in New Mexico

According to state statistics, one out of every 130 vehicle accidents in New Mexico results in death. A number of factors have been linked to serious car accidents in New Mexico. Two of the most common examples are driver distraction and speeding. According to the New Mexico Department of Transportation, a car accident occurs every 26 minutes on average. In New Mexico, over 40,000 car accidents occur each year, injuring roughly 25,000 people.

When a loved one dies as a result of another party’s negligence, wrongful death lawsuits are filed with the goal of compensating the surviving family members. On the other hand, getting that compensation is frequently easier said than done. The fact that the victim died does not absolve the perpetrator of blame. After a fatal accident, insurance companies for those who are at fault frequently try to shift blame. Instead of compensating the deceased’s family members following a fatal car accident, the defendant should compensate the family members to help with accident-related expenses. You’ll need the assistance of a car accident lawyer in Albuquerque who has extensive experience representing wrongful death victims.
