New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

The most recent crash statistics show that driving while distracted can be even more dangerous than driving while intoxicated. Over 400,000 people are hurt in the United States each year in collisions caused by driver distraction. According to a recent poll, more than 14% of fatal driver distraction accidents involved texting while driving, and around 80% of New Mexico drivers reported driving while distracted at least once in the past year. If a distracted driver caused a serious accident in which you were injured, contact a lawyer to discuss your right to compensation.

In order to protect your rights if you were critically injured in an auto accident, you need legal counsel on your side.

Consult a knowledgeable attorney who can help you with your recovery for legal assistance so that you can submit a claim for compensation to cover these and other possible damages.
