Rio Rancho Drunk Driver Accident Attorney

Have you been injured by a drunk driver in New Mexico?

Accidents caused by drunk drivers are all too common across the nation as well as in the state of New Mexico. In 2009, more than 10,000 deaths in nationwide auto accidents were associated with drivers who registered .08 or higher in blood alcohol content. The percentage of motor vehicle accidents caused by such drivers totaled 32 percent. Despite tough laws on drunk driving, these accidents continue to occur, causing deaths and injuries ranging from minor to catastrophic.

Drunk driving is not only a civil wrong but it is a form of criminal negligence. Because of this, those injured in accidents by drunk drivers may have more than one source of insurance compensation available to them.
