Car Accidents in New Mexico

New Mexican drivers are some of the worst in the nation. With that in mind, it is alarming to discover that Albuquerque drivers are some of the worst in the state. Someone is killed daily on the state's roadways. With 48,124 crashes reported in the state of New Mexico in 2019, there was an average of one crash every eleven minutes. One percent of these crashes were fatal, and about 30 percent resulted in injuries. Auto accidents account for the majority of the state's fatalities and injuries. 

For the most part, most of us drive every day. It is easy to forget how dangerous it can be. Many of us see reckless driving on the road —swerving in and out of lanes, speeding on the highway, or even staring at their phones during extended stoplights. All of these careless actions have the potential to cause a catastrophic collision. Though many New Mexicans would prefer to believe it will never happen, automobile crashes are a reality for many people. You should be ready for the possibility that a careless motorist will cause injuries to you or someone you care about.
