The vehicle fatality rate in New Mexico has long been a serious concern. There were 466 roadway fatalities reported on the state’s roads in 2022, and 122 of these deaths involved car crashes.

There are many common causes of vehicle collisions, and no matter what caused your crash, you should partner with a trained lawyer in order to pursue a claim for compensation.
