New Mexico Fatal Car Crashes

New Mexico has a significant problem with auto accidents. More than  4.5 million medical visits in 2019 were related to auto accident injuries, which cost the country more than $460 billion each year on average. Hundreds of people in New Mexico suffer injuries annually as a result of car accidents. If you want to make sure you can receive full and just compensation for your losses, you should speak with a lawyer to see if you have a case for a personal injury claim.

The laws governing personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits are designed to assist the victims in recovering from monetary and even non-monetary losses. The same laws, rules, insurance issues, time restraints, and other limitations usually apply to both personal injury and wrongful death cases. Since they both fall under the umbrella of New Mexico’s personal injury law, they are both handled by what are known as personal injury attorneys.

What distinguishes the two are the recoverable damages. The amount of compensation that an Albuquerque wrongful death lawyer may often secure is far larger than it would be in a case involving a personal injury. There are a few situations when the damages in cases of extremely significant personal injuries could be much larger due to probable future medical expenditures and lost wages.
