Your Legal Rights After a Vehicle Collision in Albuquerque, NM

After a vehicle collision in Albuquerque, you have the right to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. The amount available depends on your injuries, the crash details, and the insurance coverage involved. Knowing what may apply can help you protect the value of your claim.

Medical costs are often one of the first expenses after a serious crash. This may include emergency care, hospital visits, prescriptions, imaging, follow-up appointments, and physical therapy. Saving your bills and receipts can help document this part of your claim.

If your injuries keep you away from work, lost wages can apply. Compensation may cover missed income, overtime, bonuses, and other work-related losses during recovery. Pay stubs, tax records, and an employer letter can help support this part of your case.

Property damage may also become part of your claim after a vehicle collision. Repair bills, towing costs, rental car expenses, and replacement costs can add up quickly. Photos, repair estimates, and insurance records can help document this part of your losses.

When your injuries disrupt your daily life, pain and suffering damages may also be available. These damages can reflect physical pain, emotional distress, and limitations on your normal routine. A simple journal can help show how your injuries affect your sleep, mobility, and daily activities.

Because New Mexico follows a pure comparative fault system, you may still pursue compensation even if you share some fault for the crash. Your percentage of fault can reduce the amount you recover. A lawyer can explain how fault may affect your specific claim.

An Albuquerque car accident lawyer can help you understand what your claim may be worth. An attorney can handle insurance communication, gather evidence, review your losses, and push back if an offer does not reflect the full impact of the crash.
