Deadly Pedestrian Accidents in New Mexico

A pedestrian is almost assuredly to sustain more serious injuries in the event of a traffic accident. A total of 40 individuals were struck and died in Albuquerque and the unincorporated Bernalillo County in 2022, down from 49 in 2021, according to data from the local authorities. A total of 33 deadly collisions occurred within city limits last year, and the State Police looked into five of these cases. 

Several people are unable to work owing to pain and rehabilitation, in addition to expensive medical treatment. Their income plummets as their costs soar. The loss of their houses and other valuables is a common concern for many of our clients. Vehicle accident claims are more complicated than most people think. They expect to fill out some paperwork, wait a few weeks, and then get a check in the mail. Regrettably, a lot of insurance firms aren't willing to be impartial. They offer inadequate compensation or downplay the suffering of our clients.

Never consent to a settlement proposal without first consulting a lawyer. A New Mexico vehicle accident attorney from our firm may go through your memories of the collision and review the police record. If a settlement offer has been made, we can review it, or if not, we can start writing one.
