New Mexico Car Crashes

Car wrecks happen frequently in New Mexico. Unfortunately, most of them happen due to the actions of negligent drivers. When drivers neglect to utilize reasonable care in operating their vehicles, serious and sometimes deadly crashes may result. Sadly, tens of thousands of individuals suffer severe injuries each year in the Land of Enchantment, and hundreds end up losing their lives.

More than 2 million people across the nation are hospitalized each year due to injuries they sustain in auto accidents. Some common contributing factors related to the high accident rate in the US are: 

• Intoxicated drivers
• Drivers failing to yield the right of way at intersections, while turning, or switching lanes
• Drivers who run red lights/stop signs
• Drivers who are distracted

Despite the type of negligence, it can lead to a severe accident that results in severe or even life-altering injuries. Unfortunately, each day, more than 7,500 people suffer injuries in car crashes in the United States. If you or a loved one of yours has been hurt in an accident caused by negligence, it’s important to be able to understand how to preserve your legal rights.
