New Mexico Car Accidents

Major accidents in New Mexico are often caused by negligent driving. Driver intoxication and speeding are two of the most commonly seen forms of driver negligence throughout the country. In 2020, in New Mexico, about one-fourth of reported car crashes were caused by speeding. Crashes caused by speeding may also result in more catastrophic or even fatal injuries. Driver negligence/error is the main contributing factor to car crashes in New Mexico.

Around 25% of car crash fatalities in the United States were caused by drunk drivers in 2020. Approximately 75% of the deceased victims had been driving drunk at the time of their passing. Two side effects that occur when we drink, including blurred vision and impaired judgment, are extremely dangerous when mixed with driving. When car accidents are caused by intoxicated drivers, they are usually more severe and catastrophic. 

If you or someone you love were hurt in an accident caused by intoxication, speeding, or another form of driver negligence, you may qualify for financial compensation. Damages that were caused by your accident, such as costly medical bills and wage loss, may be eligible for financial compensation when you file a personal injury claim. A personal injury attorney in Albuquerque can help you do this.
