Following a vehicle collision in New Mexico, you may be wondering how to go about recovering your damages caused by the accident. There are two main ways to receive compensation for a car crash: an insurance claim or a civil lawsuit.
When you submit an insurance claim with the at-fault party’s insurer, you can receive a settlement offer from the insurer. The settlement is intended to pay for your damages without the case needing to go to court. Unfortunately, not all insurers are willing to pay auto accident victims fairly for the damages they’ve sustained.
When an insurer won't pay you fairly, you will likely want to take your case to court in order to receive the money you deserve. If you need to go to court, you are going to wonder, “How do New Mexico car accident court proceedings go?”

The court process for auto wrecks isn’t unlike other court processes. You will submit court paperwork in order to have your case go before a judge or jury. Next, there might be a few hearings set in order to work out some details of your case.
If you still want to take your case to court, because the insurance company won’t compromise or because of some other reason, your trial date will be set.
The following are the main steps of car crash trial proceedings.
