Motorcycle Accidents in Albuquerque

Many New Mexico residents ride motorcycles, and the mode of transportation continues to be a popular way to get around the state. Unfortunately, riders are more exposed to the dangers of the road, and statistics reveal that motorcyclists are much more likely to be killed in the event of a traffic accident. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcycle riders have a 27 times greater chance of suffering fatal injuries in a crash. 

Every day, a motorcyclist is injured or killed in New Mexico, and motorcycle fatalities have been on the rise across the country, despite an overall drop in other types of car accidents. Not only are riders more likely to be seriously injured, but most drivers also fail to look out for motorcyclists like they should, resulting in catastrophic motorcycle accidents across the state of New Mexico. In fact, despite what some people may think, most New Mexico motorcycle accidents are caused by the actions of reckless drivers who are not fulfilling their duty to share the road safely with motorcyclists.
