What Qualifies as Personal Injury in New Mexico?

Cornell University’s Legal Information Institute defines personal injury as a variety of injuries to the physical body, emotions, or reputation. Potential grounds for personal injury claims include the following:
  • Negligence Failure to behave carefully and with regard to safety.
  • Intentional wrongdoing An action that intends to harm another person.
  • Strict liability Holding someone accountable for the harm they caused, even if they did not intend to cause it.
Our personal injury lawyers work on all types of accidents, including the following:
  • Auto accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Premises liability 
  • Slip-and-fall accidents
  • Wrongful death
  • Product liability
  • Semi-truck accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Traumatic brain injuries

Every personal injury claim is different, so we will listen to your story and document essential details to develop a personalized plan to ensure optimal results.

What Damages Could You Recover in a Los Alamos Personal Injury Claim?

Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may have had to endure expensive treatment and make other accommodations to recover. You should not have to shoulder these costs alone, especially if the personal injury accident was due to no fault of your own. Potentially recoverable damages for personal injury claims include the following:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Current and future medical bills
  • Lost wages from missed work
  • Property damage
  • Rehabilitation
  • Physical therapy
  • Mental anguish
  • Prescribed medications
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Punitive damages

New Mexico operates under a comparative fault system when awarding damages. This means each party involved is assigned a percentage of fault for the accident, and this percentage is taken from the damages they receive. For example, if you are 20% at fault for a car accident, your damages will be reduced by 20%. However, insurance companies often try to assign victims unfair fault percentages, so we will use our expert negotiation skills to achieve a fair settlement.

Why Should You Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer?

While you can attempt to handle your claim on your own, the process can be confusing. Additionally, New Mexico law only gives victims three years to file their claims. This may seem like a lot of time, but recovery and other delays can make it challenging to meet this timeline on your own. Contacting a lawyer allows you to get the rest you need by managing all aspects of your claim, including the following:
  • Conducting a thorough investigation of your claim
  • Obtaining and analyzing evidence, like police reports, medical records, and video footage
  • Interviewing witnesses
  • Filing your claim on time and properly
  • Calculating the worth of your claim
  • Identifying a liable party
  • Answering all your legal questions
  • Providing consistent communication
  • Negotiating with insurance companies
  • Litigating your claim in court

Facing insurance companies and other prosecutors can be intimidating, but our lawyers can help you understand what to say and what mistakes to avoid that could get your damages reduced. We always strive to pursue what is right and cost-effectively resolve your case.
