Recent Car Accidents in Albuquerque

Car accidents happen often in Albuquerque, especially in busy intersections and high-traffic areas. When a police officer is involved, as in the crash near Louisiana Boulevard Southeast and Bell Avenue Southeast, the situation can become more complex.

Victims in these cases must understand their rights and the compensation they could receive, especially if there are injuries or wrongful death.

If you or a loved one has been in a car accident, you may be eligible for compensation. Here’s what you may be entitled to:

• Medical Expenses: You can seek compensation for all medical expenses, including emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment.
• Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, you may recover wages lost during your recovery. This is especially important if the injury affects your ability to work long-term.
• Pain and Suffering: You may receive compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and a reduced quality of life caused by the crash. This includes mental anguish, anxiety, and the impact the injury has on your daily activities.
• Property Damage: If your vehicle or personal belongings were damaged in the crash, you may be entitled to compensation for repairs or replacements.
• Wrongful Death: In cases where the accident results in death, the victim’s family can file a wrongful death claim. This type of claim compensates for funeral costs, loss of companionship, and the financial hardship caused by the death.
  

In New Mexico, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically three years from the date of the accident. However, you may need to act sooner, especially when a government entity is involved.
