Car Crashes in New Mexico

New Mexico drivers are some of the worst in the nation, and the state’s roadways are notoriously dangerous, with an average of one collision every 12 minutes, according to data from the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT). Even worse is the fact that someone is hurt in a collision almost every 26 minutes. Albuquerque drivers are some of the worst in the state, and the city’s home county, Bernalillo, almost always experiences the most crashes every year. Roughly one percent of collisions in the state end in fatalities, while almost one-third cause injuries. Drunk driving, distracted driving, and speeding are some of the leading causes of major collisions in the state. With the help of an accomplished accident attorney, you might be able to pursue a claim for damages if a careless driver causes harm to you or a loved one.
