New Mexico Pedestrian Crashes

Walking is a cost-effective and healthy way to get around Albuquerque, but there are still substantial risks involved. Pedestrian crashes can leave New Mexicans with life-threatening injuries and even fatalities. According to statistics from the Governor's Safety Highway Association, New Mexico has continually had the highest number of fatal pedestrian accidents in the nation. If a negligent driver's actions behind the wheel caused your injuries or the death of a loved one, an attorney can help.

We urge injured pedestrians to get in touch with a pedestrian accident lawyer in Albuquerque as soon as possible after their accident. Even though you might not be considering filing a lawsuit at the moment, the at-fault party's insurance company will try to take advantage of this and undervalue your claim. It is our goal to increase your compensation, and you should begin gathering information and assembling your case as soon as you can. 

If you later try to seek financial compensation for your medical expenses, lost pay, mental anguish, and other losses, whatever information you give to the company could be used against you. An insurance adjuster may claim that you are not gravely injured as a result of the accident based on even an apparently innocent comment, such as saying you feel fine when asked how you are. When pursuing your claim, your attorney can ensure that you do not do the same errors.

You should begin working on your case as soon as possible after your accident, and that involves speaking with an experienced Albuquerque personal injury lawyer. Your chances of recovering full and fair compensation for your injuries and other related damages will be much greater if you make sure your case is as solid as possible. Pedestrian accident victims need to protect their legal right to compensation, and that starts with hiring legal counsel as soon as possible. You need to speak with a lawyer so you can better grasp the full extent of your damages and how your accident impacted your life. To schedule a meeting with a lawyer from Will Ferguson & Associates to discuss your right to compensation, contact our offices at (505) 243-5566.
