Intersection Crashes in New Mexico 

Entering an intersection is unavoidable when traveling in a large metropolitan area, and these crossways are the site of nearly 40% of reported auto accidents nationwide. Nearly half of all injury crashes take place at intersections, and the majority of these impacts involve left-hand turns. According to the Federal Highway Administration, roughly 2.5 million collisions take place at roadway crossings each year. 

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.
