What Are Your Legal Options After a Scooter Crash in Clovis, NM?
If you were riding a scooter and a truck or car hit you in Clovis, you may have the right to file a personal injury claim. New Mexico law allows injured scooter riders to pursue compensation when another driver caused the crash.
When a truck strikes a scooter, the size difference often leads to severe injuries. The truck driver may carry fault for failing to check blind spots, running a traffic signal, or failing to yield. In some situations, the trucking company may also share liability.
Because Clovis connects to US-60, US-84, and US-70, commercial truck traffic moves through the city daily. North Prince Street runs through one of Clovis’ busiest commercial areas, where scooters share the road with larger vehicles. The mix of traffic and speeds increases crash risks.
After a scooter crash, getting medical care quickly helps document injuries from the start. Even if injuries seem minor, conditions like concussions or internal bleeding may appear later. It is important that victims keep records of treatment, prescriptions, and medical visits helps support your claim.
Because scooter riders often lack the same insurance coverage as drivers, claims usually go through the at-fault driver’s policy. If the driver lacks coverage, uninsured motorist protection under your policy may still apply. Reviewing available policies early helps identify potential sources of compensation.
New Mexico follows a pure comparative fault system, which means you may still recover compensation if you share fault. Your percentage of responsibility lowers the total recovery amount, but does not stop you from filing a claim. This rule gives scooter riders more flexibility.
A personal injury lawyer can review crash evidence, organize medical records, and explain what legal options may apply to your situation. An attorney can also communicate with insurance companies and help protect you from accepting an offer too early.
