Pedestrian Accident cases in Clovis
People walk everywhere in Clovis — across Prince Street, Mabry Drive, and 21st Street, near schools and campuses, and through busy parking lots. New Mexico consistently ranks among the most dangerous states for people on foot, and with Cannon Air Force Base traffic and dairy-freight corridors, drivers in Curry County too often fail to yield — a pedestrian struck by a vehicle almost always comes away with the more serious injuries.
Drivers generally must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and exercise care everywhere else. If a driver hit you or a family member, a participating New Mexico law firm may review the crash and explain your options — including uninsured motorist coverage when the driver has no insurance.
Common Clovis pedestrian accident situations
- Crosswalk and intersection strikes on Prince Street, Mabry Drive, and 21st Street
