If you were hurt as a pedestrian, you might be able to file a claim for compensation. Both motorists and pedestrians are required to obey the law, and a reckless driver who hits a pedestrian may be held liable for any resulting damages. Pedestrians almost always suffer more serious injuries in a car accident, and the person at fault should be held accountable under the law.
If you were struck by a careless driver, your injuries could have been severe or even life-altering. Traumatic brain injuries, shattered bones, back or neck injuries, injuries to internal organs, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones are some of the most common. Treatment for pedestrian injuries can be very costly and time-consuming. If you hire a New Mexico pedestrian accident attorney to represent your interests, you will be more likely to obtain full compensation for your injuries.
