Car Accidents in Albuquerque

Auto collisions in New Mexico leave tens of thousands of people with injuries per year. Oftentimes, those injured in car crashes suffer due to the reckless and careless actions of other people. Some common reasons car wrecks happen in the state of New Mexico include: 

• Driver distraction: Drivers who choose to look at their phones, talk to the people in their vehicle, mess with the radio, gps, or pay attention to anything other than the road in front of them and their immediate surroundings are at the highest risk of causing an accident that ends in injuries or death. Every year, more than 400,000 car crashes happen in the United States caused by distracted driving
• Reckless driving: When drivers act reckless while behind the wheel, they put their lives on the line as well as the lives of those whom they encounter on the road. Reckless driving can lead to severe injuries and fatalities for everyone involved. Some actions that may be considered reckless include running red lights, speeding, or lane weaving. 
• Intoxication: Driver intoxication is one of the most dangerous forms of driver negligence that exists today. When drivers are intoxicated, they are unable to react accordingly if they become involved in crash. This can be extremely dangerous for everyone involved, and lead to severe or even fatal injuries. 

Driver negligence has become a severe issue in the United States, especially in the past decade. Recent statistics gathered concerning car crashes in the US show that more than 90% of reported auto collisions are the result of negligent driving.
