Deadly Pedestrian Accidents in Albuquerque
Pedestrian fatalities are on the rise across the United States, despite a general decline in overall traffic fatalities. Statistics reveal that pedestrians are nearly 1.5 times more likely to be killed in a collision involving a motor vehicle.

That year, New Mexico had the highest pedestrian fatality rate in the country according to a report from the Governor’s Highway Safety Association.
When the negligence of another person results in the loss of a loved one, it is natural that surviving family members would want to seek justice.
