Deadly Vehicle Collisions in Albuquerque

New Mexico has one of the highest vehicle fatality rates in the nation according to findings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Hundreds of state residents are killed annually in car crashes across the state, and someone is injured in a New Mexico vehicle collision every 26 minutes on average. One of the leading contributors to fatal traffic accidents in the state is distracted driving. 

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. A New Mexico wrongful death lawsuit could give them the financial compensation needed to cover funeral expenses and burial costs, medical expenses, mental suffering, and other damages related to a deadly accident. New Mexico wrongful death claims involve many complicated laws, including strict statutes of limitations and rules regarding who can file, so it helps to have the help of a qualified legal team on your side.
