New Mexico Car Crashes

On Albuquerque roadways, car accidents happen every single day, leaving many residents with serious and life-threatening injuries. The New Mexico Department of Transportation reports that New Mexico experienced 128 collisions, 54 injuries, and one fatality on average every day in 2018. A car accident occurred every 27 minutes in Bernalillo County alone in 2018.

In New Mexico, there are primarily two paths to financial recovery following an automobile accident. The victim will frequently seek reimbursement from the at-fault driver’s insurance coverage. Even if the victim has evidence that the at-fault driver was speeding, it could be challenging to get a complete and equitable payment package. Insurance firms are known for employing every trick in their arsenal to threaten victims and prevent them from receiving the full amount of compensation due.

When accident victims are still in agony and shock following an accident, insurance adjusters frequently start pressuring them to accept a low-value settlement right away. We advise speaking with an attorney before signing any insurance settlement before accepting it. This can help prevent you from taking a less-than-satisfactory settlement offer that is not enough to cover the full extent of your damages.
