New Mexico Car Crashes

Car crashes happen over 60,000 times per year in the state of New Mexico. These wrecks cause injuries to around 20,000 people per year and take the lives of hundreds annually. Throughout the United States, about 6 million vehicle wrecks are reported per year that injure more than 3 million people per year. Each year, our country sees over 40,000 people lose their lives due to auto accidents. The numbers only continue to rise year by year. This is most likely due to the rising popularity of smartphones. The majority of auto accidents that happen in the United States are caused by driver negligence. 

Driver negligence comes in many forms, however, the most common form is currently driver distraction, mostly people who choose to text and drive. Looking down at your phone for five seconds is the same as driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed. Everyone you encounter, while distracted behind the wheel, is at serious risk for severe injuries or even death. 

People who choose to drive negligently are often fined or even sent to jail. Those victimized by negligent drivers are usually eligible for financial compensation when they file personal injury claims with attorneys.
