Deadly Pedestrian Accidents in New Mexico

Walking is a common mode of transportation for people in New Mexico. Unfortunately, pedestrian safety in the state is lacking. The risk of serious injury for pedestrians in a crash is much higher than for someone traveling in a motor vehicle. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were about 62,000 pedestrian fatalities in the country last year, with 83 of those deaths occurring in New Mexico. This is the highest amount in almost 30 years. Pedestrians and their families should be ready to take legal action to protect their legal rights following a serious accident.
