Driver distraction is a leading factor in car accidents nationwide, and the Albuquerque area is no exception. Drivers who are not giving their full attention to the road, whether due to texting or something else, putting other motorists and pedestrians at risk of serious injuries and even death. In fact, a study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that there were nearly 3,500 fatalities in distraction-based accidents in 2015. That makes up nearly 10% of all car accident deaths that year.
If you have been injured by a distracted driver in Albuquerque, the state of New Mexico allows you the right to compensation recovery. Attorney Paul Dominguez represents people who have been injured in car crashes and helps them seek compensation that they are entitled to for the harm that they have suffered. Dominguez Law is dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized legal representation to all of our clients suffering the aftermath of a collision. Unlike many other law firms, we believe that taking time to make sure that victims understand their legal rights and options is a step that should not be ignored.
All drivers owe others on the road a duty to act as a reasonable and prudent person would act under the given circumstances. At Dominguez Law, we are devoted to pursuing justice and benefits for you when you are injured because of someone else’s choices on the road.
You may be compensated for:
When a distracted driver causes the death of another person, the relatives of the victim may pursue a wrongful death action against the responsible party to seek damages for burial and funeral costs, as well as loss of support.
In some extreme cases, if the plaintiff can prove the negligent party acted with malice or in bad faith, punitive damages may be awarded to the victim. Punitive damages are awarded solely as a means of punishment for the negligent party and to prevent similar behavior in the future.
One of the most troubling facts about distracted driving accidents is how easily preventable they are. It is easy to assume that we have learned how to drive with distractions, but the statistics prove that it is simply not the case.
