New Mexico Car Accidents

Car accidents are commonplace across the country, not just in New Mexico. Every year, car accidents in New Mexico claim the lives of thousands of individuals and leave many others with serious injuries. More than 3 million people are injured in more than 6 million car accidents each year in the United States. Sadly, more than 35,000 people nationwide pass away every year as a result of automobile accidents. Being seriously hurt in a vehicle accident can be quite overwhelming and difficult, and you may need the help of an attorney in order to pursue lost compensation. 

New Mexicans can potentially file a claim to seek financial stability after an automobile accident. Usually, the victim will make a claim with the responsible party's insurance carrier. Even if the injured party has proof that the at-fault driver was speeding or participating in other dangerous behavior, it could be challenging to obtain fair and thorough compensation. Insurance firms bully victims and pay less than what they are legally owed for damages. If you do not have a lawyer fighting for your rights, you run the risk of having an insurer take advantage of you.

Our lawyers are able to thoroughly evaluate the claims of our clients by projecting future medical bills, lost earnings, and other expenses in addition to the immediate costs associated with a car accident. The settlement should cover your pain and suffering as a result of the injury. Before contacting the insurance company, we will carefully assess the claim's value. If the insurance company does not provide a reasonable settlement for your damages, we will pursue compensation in court.
