Car Accidents in New Mexico

Unfortunately, car accidents happen often both in New Mexico and across the country. Thousands of people suffer severe injuries every year in car accidents that take place all over the state of New Mexico. In the United States, there are more than 6 million car accidents per year that result in over 3 million injuries. Regrettably, car accidents across the nation result in the deaths of more than 35,000 people each year. It can be quite overwhelming and challenging to sustain major injuries in a car accident.

Driving can be very dangerous, so it is important to abide by the applicable traffic laws. Holding individuals accountable who chose to ignore traffic laws and cause catastrophic injuries is one of the most crucial elements in a crash victim's recovery. Many distinct parties may all be held accountable when someone's actions result in injuries on the road. Vehicle accidents frequently result in fatalities or catastrophic injuries that profoundly affect the victims' lives for years to come. 

When accident victims are still healing from their injuries and processing the accident, insurance adjusters frequently start pressuring them to accept a hurried, low-value settlement. We strongly advise speaking with a lawyer prior to signing any insurance settlement forms or accepting any money from the insurer. Having knowledgeable legal representation on your side will help you avoid accepting a settlement offer that is either undervalued or insufficient to fully pay you for your losses.
