New Mexico Distracted Driving Accidents

It comes as no surprise that distracted driving is still a significant issue in New Mexico. In fact, statistics indicate that the majority of collisions in the state are caused by inattentive drivers. A distracted driver caused a car accident almost every 56 minutes on average in 2017, and there were 9,386 distracted driving collisions reported across the state that year. Driver distraction contributed to 382 fatal collisions in the state in 2020 alone, accounting for almost 36% of all traffic fatalities in New Mexico.

Nothing can ever completely prepare you for being involved in a serious car accident. In a matter of seconds, the actions of a reckless driver can leave you with serious or even life-threatening injuries. The severity of your injuries and your condition immediately following a car accident will determine how much compensation you are able to pursue in a potential personal injury claim. 

It is natural for crash victims to be uncertain of what to do after a serious car accident. It can be overwhelming dealing with your injuries while also trying to pursue legal action against the person responsible for your condition. However, you should not leave your recovery to chance.
