New Mexico experienced 103 pedestrian deaths in 2021, the highest number on record, and there were 4.7 pedestrian deaths per 100,000 people in the state. There were 49 of these deaths in Albuquerque alone, the highest number in the Land of Enchantment. If you or someone close to you is unfairly hurt in a pedestrian crash, you have rights.
