Fatal Motorcycle Crashes in New Mexico

There has been an increase in motorcycle accidents in New Mexico. 2019 experienced 59 reported motorcycle deaths, the most in nearly five years. Contrary to popular belief, the carelessness of other drivers is the leading cause of motorcycle accidents. Data from the University of New Mexico (UNM) shows that motorcycles are involved in around 2.3 percent of collisions and 14.2 percent of fatal collisions in the state.

You are never completely prepared for when someone close to you dies in an accident. This is the most traumatic time of our lives, and it is important that you understand what happened in order to make a complete financial recovery. It seems unnatural to make the loss of a loved one into a legal matter. However, if it is later found that someone else’s reckless actions resulted in the death of someone close to you, you need to be ready to take the appropriate action to ensure that the person responsible is brought to justice. 

Motorcyclists are more likely to be killed in the event of a crash, and this is largely due to the fact that there is little protection for the rider from the full impact of the collision. If someone close to you is a rider, you know how dangerous it can be, and you need to be ready to take action with the help of an attorney who has experience handling motorcycle injury claims and wrongful death cases.
