Why Are Interstate Interchanges So Dangerous in Albuquerque, NM?

Interstate interchanges in Albuquerque are dangerous since drivers must merge, split, and adjust speed quickly. At I-40 and I-25, the Big I adds heavy traffic and tight movement. When a mistake happens there, drivers have little room to recover.

The Big I connects east-west I-40 with north-south I-25 in the center of Albuquerque. Afternoon traffic brings commuters, delivery vehicles, and large trucks into the same merge areas. That mix raises the risk of serious crashes.

After a crash at a major interchange, you should document what you can before leaving. Photos of vehicles, lane positions, and visible injuries can help later. If witnesses stopped, getting their contact information may protect your claim.

Even when injuries seem minor, you should see a doctor the same day. High-speed crashes can cause pain that does not appear right away. A prompt medical visit links your injuries to the crash.

Because New Mexico follows pure comparative fault, you may still recover compensation even if partly responsible. What you tell insurance adjusters early can affect how fault gets assigned. Knowing your rights before giving statements protects your claim.

Before evidence disappears, speak with an attorney who understands New Mexico highway crash claims. Your lawyer can get reports, review fault, and handle insurance communication. Early legal help keeps your case from losing momentum.

Once the investigation ends, traffic footage and witness details may become harder to find. Acting quickly gives your legal team a clearer picture of the crash. Waiting too long can weaken the evidence behind your case.

While you focus on your recovery, an Albuquerque car accident attorney can handle the legal work for you. A lawyer can protect key evidence, track deadlines, deal with the insurance company, and build a strong claim.
