New Mexico Distracted Driving Accidents

Distracted drivers are probably sharing the road with you more than you may realize. Many people have become far too comfortable carelessly operating a motor vehicle, and driver distraction can include just talking with a passenger and more obvious activities such as texting while driving. In New Mexico, distracted driving caused nearly 41 percent of reported traffic fatalities. This indicates that, at almost twice the national average, the state has the highest rate of distraction-related roadway deaths in the nation. 

You are always at risk of being hit by a distracted driver, and these types of reckless drivers can and should be held responsible in the event of a serious traffic accident. However, this is often easier said than done. It can be difficult to pursue a claim for compensation on your own, and this is particularly true if you are dealing with the aftermath of a life-changing car accident. You should never leave your recovery to chance. Instead, you need to always partner with a skilled personal injury attorney in New Mexico in order to seek fair compensation.
