Intersection Accidents in New Mexico 

There is an inherent risk when entering a roadway crossing. Even with traffic lights and stop signs, intersection crashes still happen, and these types of collisions are known to result in serious injuries. In fact, nearly half of all injury accidents and one-quarter of traffic fatalities occur at intersections, with more than 2.5 million wrecks taking place annually at roadway crossings, according to the Federal Highway Administration. 

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.
