Semi-Truck Accidents in New Mexico
Large commercial trucks are capable of inflicting devastating injuries in the event of a crash. There are more than 500,000 big rig collisions reported each year in the United States, contributing to thousands of fatalities. Nearly one out of every 35 semi-truck collisions in New Mexico results in a fatality, compared to only one out of every 130 passenger vehicle collisions. Truck occupants accounted for roughly 18% of trucking fatalities nationwide in 2018.
Accidents involving large trucks are much different than typical vehicle collisions. They involve multiple parties and the resulting injuries can be life-changing for victims. These large commercial vehicles are massive and capable of inflicting devastating injuries and other damages in the event of a semi-truck accident in New Mexico, especially for those traveling in smaller passenger cars. Not only that, but you are dealing with a trucking company that may have acted recklessly, contributing to your accident, and these large companies often have experienced legal teams fighting to make sure that they pay as little as possible.
