New Mexico Pedestrian Accidents

Walking is a healthy and economical way to get around the city, but it also comes with significant risks. Every year, walking-related accidents cause serious injuries and even fatalities to New Mexicans. The Governor's Safety Highway Association stats show that New Mexico has the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities. An attorney can assist if a careless driver's conduct behind the wheel resulted in your injuries or the loss of a loved one. 

We advise injured pedestrians to contact an Albuquerque pedestrian accident attorney as soon as possible following their accident. Even though you might not be thinking about filing a lawsuit right now, the insurance provider of the person who was at fault will take advantage of this and try to devalue your claim. You should start collecting evidence and building your case as soon as possible to maximize your compensation. 

Any information you provide to the corporation may be used against you if you later seek monetary compensation for your medical costs, lost wages, mental anguish, and other damages. Even a seemingly innocent remark, like admitting you feel fine when someone asks you how you are, can cause an insurance adjuster to say that you are not seriously hurt as a result of the accident. Your attorney can help make sure that you do not make similar mistakes when pursuing your claim.
