New Mexico Car Wrecks

Every year, tens of thousands of people suffer injuries in car crashes in New Mexico. These crashes can happen for numerous reasons, however, the main reason they occur is driver negligence. The story remains the same throughout the United States. Driver negligence has become a serious issue across the country, especially in the past decade. With the ever-increasing popularity of smartphones and other handheld devices, drivers have more distractions than ever. For example, every single year, over 400,000 collisions occur due to the actions of distracted drivers. 

The National Traffic Safety Administration found that over 90% of auto collisions reported in the United States are caused by negligent driving. Besides distraction, which is the most prevalent form of driver negligence, intoxication, speeding, and fatigue also cause countless collisions every year that end in injuries and fatalities. When we consider the yearly amount of reported car crashes in the United States, which is over 6 million, it is alarming to think that millions of auto collisions happen because of driver negligence every year.
