Intersection Crashes in Albuquerque

Intersections are a hotspot for serious car accidents in New Mexico, especially in the Albuquerque area. It only takes the actions of a single reckless driver to cause a life-threatening collision. Each year, there are more than 2.5 million intersection crashes according to data from the Federal Highway Administration, making up the second-largest crash category in the nation.  A report from the Governor’s Highway Safety Association found that intersections have become more dangerous in the past years.

In the state of New Mexico, plaintiffs injured in a vehicle collision have a right to be fully compensated for injuries resulting from the actions of a negligent party. When calculating the extent of a victim’s damages, many different factors are taken into consideration, including the suffering endured by the victim and the extent of their financial damages resulting from a New Mexico car accident. Considering all these factors can be overwhelming for those trying their best to recover after a car accident.
