Trucking Accidents in New Mexico 

New Mexico plays a critical role in the country’s transportation network and is home to miles and miles of highway. The majority of freight in the United States is transported by large trucks, and these vehicles can pose a serious threat to those traveling in passenger cars. Thousands are killed annually in over 500,000 trucking accidents nationwide, with the vast majority of these fatalities involving the occupants of passenger vehicles. 

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.
