Reckless Driving Accidents in Albuquerque

It only takes the action of a single reckless driver to cause a severe auto accident, and even the safest drivers are at risk. Reckless drivers contribute to nearly 13,000 traffic-related fatalities each year. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, New Mexico ranks fifth in the country for careless driving accidents and also has the second-worst drivers. 

Car crashes in New Mexico are caused by a variety of roadway hazards, such as poor driving, excessive speed, unsafe road conditions, poor truck maintenance, road construction, and inadequate signage. Determining liability for a crash can be difficult and more complex than simply determining fault, and injured parties are often unprepared to protect their legal rights after a catastrophic accident.
