Rollover Crashes in New Mexico

There are 9.1 million car accidents in the United States each year, and rollover accidents cause a disproportionately high number of fatalities. According to estimates, rollovers were to blame for 35% of fatalities in automobile accidents in 2010. Individuals who sustain injuries in rollover accidents may be entitled to file a claim for compensation.

The majority of car accidents are preventable, and most of them are brought on by other drivers' careless behavior. In order to obtain compensation from the responsible party if you suffered injuries in an automobile accident, you must establish that the defendant was at fault. The legal system in New Mexico for car accident claims is more traditional and fault-based. This suggests that if you do not strictly adhere to the process, assigning blame for an auto accident may be challenging. You have to demonstrate specific legal requirements, such as that the party at fault owed you a duty of care and disregarded that obligation, in order to succeed in a personal injury case.

In addition to the current expenditures associated with a car accident, our attorneys are able to thoroughly evaluate the claims of our clients by projecting future medical bills, missed wages, and other expenses. The settlement should cover the pain and suffering brought on by your injury. We will actively negotiate with the insurance company after thoroughly analyzing the claim's value. If the insurance company does not give a reasonable settlement for your damages, we will seek compensation in court.
