Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accident Claims

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, you likely have questions about your legal rights. Below are answers to the most common concerns.

  • What should I do after a car accident in New Mexico?

    After a car accident, your safety is the priority. If possible, call 911, seek medical attention, and document the scene with photos. Exchange insurance information, but avoid admitting fault. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and begin building your case.

  • How is fault determined in a New Mexico car accident?

    New Mexico follows comparative negligence laws, meaning compensation can be reduced if you’re found partially at fault. Courts and insurance companies assess factors such as traffic laws, police reports, and witness statements to determine liability. A lawyer can help dispute fault assessments to maximize your claim.

  • What damages can I recover after a car accident?

    Car accident victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, vehicle repair costs, and emotional distress. In severe cases, punitive damages may be awarded if the at-fault driver acted with gross negligence (e.g., DUI accidents).

  • Should I accept a settlement from the insurance company?

    Insurance companies often offer low settlements to minimize payouts. Accepting an early offer may result in insufficient compensation for long-term medical care and lost earning potential. A personal injury attorney can negotiate on your behalf to secure a fair settlement.

  • How long do I have to file a car accident claim in New Mexico?

    New Mexico’s statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim after a car accident is three years from the accident date. Missing this deadline may prevent you from recovering compensation. Consult an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed on time.

You deserve power on your side of the bench.
