New Mexico Pedestrian Accidents

In 2020, there were traffic accidents that resulted in a pedestrian being killed every 81 minutes and injured every 10 minutes. In 2020, 2% of all people were hurt in traffic accidents, and 17% of all traffic fatalities were pedestrian-related. New Mexico has one of the highest rates of pedestrian fatalities in the nation, and victims should enlist the aid of a qualified attorney. 

Serious injury car accidents can impose a lot of financial stress on the victim and their family. Your injuries may require both costly medical treatment and time away from work, which means you will not be able to earn as much money as you could have if you had not been in the accident. When a driver diverts their attention from the road, even for a brief period of time, to attend to a restless youngster or use a GPS, serious collisions may result. In New Mexico, there is no cap on how many accidents reckless drivers can cause.
