New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

It’s crazy how many accidents happen in this country because drivers are distracted. Almost every day, we see people driving with their phones down while behind the wheel. Results from recent polls show that a lot of drivers easily admit to using their phones while driving. New Mexico has one of the highest rates of accidents caused by driver distraction, and statistics show that about 40.75 percent of accidents in the state are likely caused by this reckless behavior. This number is about five times the average for the whole country. You have a legal right to pursue compensation if you are unfairly hurt by a reckless driver. To file a claim against the at-fault party, you should always talk to an experienced lawyer first.
