Deadly Pedestrian Accidents in New Mexico

In New Mexico, walking is a popular way to get around. Sadly, the state is not known for being safe for pedestrians. Those on foot are far more likely to suffer serious injuries in a crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 83 pedestrian fatalities occurred in New Mexico last year, making up nearly 62,000 nationwide pedestrian fatalities. This is the highest figure reported in the past three decades. After a major accident, pedestrians and their families should be prepared to file a lawsuit to defend their legal rights.
