Pedestrian Accidents in New Mexico

Pedestrian accidents can result in severe and life-threatening injuries. In cases like this one, bereaved family members may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim to compensate their losses. 

While nothing can replace a life lost in an accident, compensation can help ease the financial burdens and provide support during a difficult time.

Here are some common types of compensation available to victims of pedestrian accidents:

• Medical expenses – Compensation can cover the costs of emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical care needed after the accident.
• Lost wages – If the victim is unable to work due to injuries, compensation may cover lost wages during their recovery period. If the victim can no longer work due to long-term injuries, the compensation can address future lost earnings.
• Pain and suffering – Pedestrian accident victims often experience significant pain, both physically and emotionally. Compensation for pain and suffering seeks to provide relief for the emotional and physical hardships endured during recovery.
• Funeral and burial expenses – In wrongful death cases, families can receive compensation for funeral, burial, and other related expenses incurred after the tragic loss of a loved one.
• Loss of companionship – If an accident results in the death of a loved one, surviving family members can receive compensation for the loss of companionship, support, and care they provided.
