Car Crashes in New Mexico

Vehicle accidents often happen on Albuquerque’s highways, leaving many citizens with grave and potentially fatal injuries. According to the New Mexico Department of Transportation, there were 128 crashes, 54 injuries, and 1 fatality every day in New Mexico in 2018. In 2018, there was an automobile accident in Bernalillo County every 27 minutes. If you were hurt in a collision caused by another driver, call an attorney as soon as you can. 

The majority of auto accidents are avoidable, and the bulk of them are caused by the reckless actions of other drivers. If you were wounded in a car accident, you must show that the defendant was at fault in order to recover compensation from the at-fault party. For motor vehicle accident claims, New Mexico has a more conventional fault-based legal system. This implies that determining responsibility for an auto accident may be difficult if you do not follow the process to a tee. To win a personal injury case, you must prove certain legal standards, such as that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care and neglected that responsibility.

Our lawyers are able to thoroughly assess the claims of our clients by forecasting future medical bills, missed wages, and other expenses in addition to the current costs related to a car accident. Your compensation should compensate for the discomfort and suffering resulting from your injuries. After carefully estimating the claim’s value, we will engage in active negotiation with the insurance provider. We will seek restitution in court if the insurance provider does not offer a reasonable settlement for your damages.
