New Mexico Car Wrecks

One of the most dangerous things we do almost daily is driving a motor vehicle. There were 398 fatal car accidents in New Mexico in 2016, according to statistics from the New Mexico Department of Transportation. That is nearly 100 more than the previous year. Nearly one-quarter of the state's traffic fatalities take place in Bernalillo County, which is the most populous county in the state and home to Albuquerque. 

After a car accident, recovery could take months or even years. How long it takes you to heal completely will depend on the severity of your injuries. In your hour of need, our attorneys want to be there for you. It is our duty as personal injury attorneys to secure the highest settlement for clients who have sustained injuries due to the actions of a reckless motorist.

The first thing you should do if you were severely injured in a car accident is call a lawyer as soon as you can. A lawyer with experience handling personal injury claims can assist you in obtaining the greatest value of your compensation claim because auto insurance companies have a history of making claimants offers that are much less than the true cost of their damages. You do not want to be left alone when going up against a large insurance provider who will be able to wield their experience against you. 

You need to start building your case quickly as you can if you suffered serious injuries in a car accident, and your first step needs to be working with a skilled Albuquerque personal injury attorney from the very start if you want to maximize your recovery. Your lawyer will work to defend your rights and assist you in obtaining the highest settlement possible, and he or she will be able to collect evidence and build a solid defense on your behalf.
