New Mexico Semi-Truck Accidents

A large commercial truck puts you at higher risk of suffering serious injuries in the event of an accident. Over 3,000 semi-truck crashes were reported in the state of New Mexico in 2019, according to data from the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT). Statistics show that a total of 76 people lost their lives in these crashes, while hundreds more suffered severe injuries. You have to be aware of how devastating these collisions can be and be prepared to defend your legal rights by working with an experienced personal injury attorney. 

You should seek the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney with years of experience with semi-truck crash cases if you or a loved one were injured in a trucking accident. In the unlikely event that your case needs to go to trial, you need someone with the appropriate experience because these cases are far more complex than a standard personal injury claim. You will need a law firm with the resources needed to take on a large transportation company. You need to be confident that you can fully rely on your lawyer to defend your rights when going up against the at-fault party.

A trucking accident can involve a variety of distinct parties, including parts manufacturers who create subpar products or companies that rush their drivers to hit the road without taking the necessary safety precautions. For these companies to avoid catastrophic collisions, they must exercise the utmost caution and adhere to strict guidelines. A large rig is significantly heavier than a passenger car, so those who are driving in smaller vehicles run a higher chance of suffering serious injuries that could change their lives forever.
