Deadly Car Crashes in Albuquerque

The risk of being killed in a car crash is alarmingly high. Statistics reveal that nearly one out of every 130 auto accidents in New Mexico ends in a fatality. The state has one of the highest rates of traffic fatalities in the country according to findings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Distracted driving is a predominant factor in car crashes in New Mexico and is involved in nearly 10,000 collisions in the state per year. 

New Mexico wrongful death lawsuits are intended to compensate surviving family members when the negligent actions of another party cause the death of a loved one. Just because the victim died, that does not mean that the at-fault party should be off the hook. The defendant must instead pay compensation to the family members of the deceased after a deadly New Mexico car crash. This can only be accomplished by partnering with a law firm with years of experience helping victims pursue wrongful death claims. 

Bringing a lawsuit is probably the last thing on your mind after losing a family member, but you do not have to pursue a claim on your own. Will Ferguson & Associates understands that no amount of compensation will bring back a loved one. Our legal team will fight to make sure that you recover the compensation you deserve after losing a loved one.  Call us today at (505) 243-5566 to discuss your case with a New Mexico wrongful death attorney.
