New Mexico Distracted Driving Accidents

The most recent crash figures suggest that distracted driving is even more harmful than drunk driving, with more than 400,000 individuals wounded nationwide each year as a result of crashes caused by driver distraction. Statistics show that texting while driving was a factor in more than 14% of fatal distracted-related crashes last year, and a recent survey found that approximately 80% of New Mexico drivers admitted to engaging in distracted driving at least once. This figure demonstrates how commonplace the practice has become in the state.

Your capacity to recover after a car accident will depend on whether you are fairly paid for your personal injury losses. If you have never dealt with personal injury cases, it will probably be difficult for you to maximize your claim for damages. You need a lawyer by your side during the entire process because filing a personal injury claim may be a long, challenging, and overwhelming process.

After a car accident, you should seek legal advice from a knowledgeable attorney because pursuing a claim on your own could be difficult. The insurance provider can make an effort to deny the claim or claim that you were at fault for the accident. This is a common strategy employed by insurance companies, and it may result in a settlement amount that is not enough to cover your damages. If you want to make sure you receive a fair settlement for your claim, we can help.
