Who Pays for Medical Bills After a Car Accident in New Mexico?

In New Mexico, the at-fault driver is usually responsible for paying medical bills after a car accident. However, insurance coverage and other factors can affect how these costs are handled.

New Mexico follows a fault-based system, which means the driver who caused the crash may be held financially responsible for injuries. In many cases, people first use their own health insurance or medical payment coverage to address immediate treatment needs. Later, they may seek reimbursement through an insurance claim against the at-fault driver.

Medical expenses after a crash can include emergency care, hospital stays, follow-up visits, and rehabilitation. Some injuries require ongoing treatment, which can increase costs over time. Keep detailed records of your medical care and expenses to show how the accident affected your health and your bills and earnings.

Insurance companies often review documentation, including medical records and accident reports, when evaluating claims. This process can take time, especially when injuries require extended care. Clear documentation can make it easier to understand what expenses may be included in a claim.

An Albuquerque car accident lawyer can help explain how New Mexico law applies and what options may be available. Legal guidance can also assist with reviewing insurance policies and organizing the information needed for a claim.
