New Mexico Pedestrian Crashes

The Centers for Disease Control report an annual average of 5,977 fatalities and about 137,000 non-fatal pedestrian accidents. Those who are walking have a larger probability of passing away in a collision than those who are riding in a car. The acts of careless drivers on New Mexico state roadways have a substantial impact on the number of pedestrian accidents, and the state has one of the highest rates of pedestrian fatality rates in the country. Speak to a lawyer if you or a loved one was murdered or hurt while crossing the street.

The pedestrian most likely suffered injuries as a result of any vehicle collision, whatever its cause. Because to the common pedestrian's lack of any exterior protection, these injuries may be serious. You might need to take time off from work to recover. You might have to pay tens of thousands of dollars in medical costs. A catastrophic injury may, in rare instances, radically alter your life. Due to the fact that New Mexico is an at-fault state, the responsible person may be held liable. To determine who was at fault for the pedestrian accident, your attorney will examine the scene's physical evidence. They might include photographs, witness statements, and other artifacts from the scene.
