Fatal Rollover Accidents in New Mexico

As SUVs and other top-heavy cars have grown in popularity, rollovers have increased in frequency. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that rollover collisions have a mortality rate that is ten times higher than that of other collision types. If you or a loved one was hurt in a rollover accident, you could be feeling anxious and unsure of what to do.

In the event that someone close to you passes away in an unexpected manner, you may endure mental anguish, and it is likely that you may have a difficult time coming to terms with their passing. If you find out that the person's death was the result of the carelessness of another, your family may have a more difficult time understanding the tragedy.

Even though receiving compensation for the untimely death of a loved one will never bring them back, the law in New Mexico provides surviving spouses, children under the age of 18, and other close relatives with the option to do so as their primary means of obtaining some measure of justice for the loss of a loved one. It is possible for the surviving children of a deceased person, their spouse, or certain other relatives to file a wrongful death case on their behalf through the personal representative of the deceased person.

After losing a loved one, you can think that nothing in your life will ever be the same again. We are all too aware of the suffering endured by New Mexican families who have lost a loved one.
