Car accidents in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County
The University of New Mexico Traffic Research Unit reports a motor vehicle crash in Bernalillo County about every 34 minutes, and that about 31 percent of New Mexico crashes result in an injury. Those numbers are why car-accident claims are the most common personal injury matters we see.
We represent people hurt in intersection collisions, highway crashes on I-25 and I-40, rear-end wrecks, and hit-and-run cases. If a drunk or impaired driver caused the crash, we can pursue the injury claim while you deal with the aftermath.
What a car accident claim can cover
- Emergency care, follow-up treatment, and future medical needs
- Lost income and reduced ability to work
- Pain, suffering, and limits on daily life
- Property damage to your vehicle when it is part of the same claim
Deadlines and insurance
In New Mexico, a personal injury lawsuit is generally subject to a three-year statute of limitations. Insurers often call quickly and ask for a recorded statement. You are not required to give one to the other driver's company before you have advice. We handle those conversations so you can focus on treatment.
