PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS & LAWSUITS IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM

The first step in your New Mexico personal injury case is likely going to be collecting documents. This includes the accident report, your medical bills and records, any witness statements, and other paperwork. Once collected, your personal injury attorney will review the details, help assess your total losses, and identify the liable parties. This could be an individual, an insurance company, or some other large corporation.

Depending on the details and the evidence, we may then start negotiating a settlement. And while most personal injury cases in New Mexico are resolved this way, some insurance companies only feel pressured to do what’s right when your injury attorney is willing to take the case to court.

With our trial record and history of awards and settlements, Albuquerque personal injury lawyers can handle every aspect of:

  • Filing an official complaint
  • Serving the complaint to all involved
  • Filing pre-trial motions and discovery documents
  • Conducting pre-trial hearings and depositions
  • Presenting your case in court
  • Facilitating any award or financial settlement

DON’T ACCEPT A LOW-BALL INSURANCE SETTLEMENT

You expect insurance companies to do the right thing if you are injured, but these companies are frequently more worried about profits – not your health or financial needs. An insurance representative will likely offer you a fast settlement, but these are intended to make claims go away for a lot less than what they’re worth.

Don’t accept less than what’s right. Our personal injury attorneys in New Mexico will assess your situation, review your damages, and explain what you genuinely need to move on after a serious injury. If a settlement offer is fair, we’ll say so. If you can do better, The personal injury attorneys at Law Giant Injury Lawyers will be ready to help.

New Mexico Personal Injury Statute of Limitations

You don’t have unlimited time to file a claim and pursue compensation. State law generally gives you three years from the date of the accident or injury to file. If you do not file within this timeframe, you may lose the chance to file all. This makes getting practical legal advice and representation critical if you have been injured through no fault of your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

DO I NEED A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?

Anyone who has been injured in an accident will quickly find that their expenses start to add up. Most people cannot afford several thousand dollars worth of unexpected bills. This can be due to the costs of hospitalization and emergency services immediately after the accident, the time the person needs to stay out of work and lose income, and other financial losses that are related to the injury. Even if you have a relevant insurance policy, there can still be issues with receiving enough compensation to cover all of these losses, or receiving any money from the insurance company at all. For these reasons, it is important to look into the services of an Albuquerque injury lawyer and get the right kind of information about accident lawsuits and the process to receive compensation.

WHAT IS NEW MEXICO TORT LAW?

Tort law has broad application to a number of issues that personal injury attorneys deal with on a regular basis. This is the legal term for any injury that is addressed in civil court, which was due to the defendant’s intentional acts, recklessness, or negligence. In current times, tort lawsuits like those related to car accidents, slip and fall cases, and injuries sustained on another person’s property are some of the most common tort law actions, and they are almost always filed as negligence cases against a defendant person, entity, or business.

Personal injury attorneys deal with aspects of tort law that are related to a person sustaining a physical injury, rather than other types of harm that can be litigated in civil court.

WHAT DOES AN INJURY LAWYER DO FOR YOU?

Personal injury attorneys in Albuquerque provide a number of services. The first step of this process is the initial consultation or meeting. You can get to know your injury attorney and share any information about your accident and injuries with them. This is also a crucial point in the case, because if there is an agreement for representation made at this time, a formal attorney-client relationship forms. This relationship is governed by the rules of ethics and certain other confidentiality regulations to ensure that the client is protected and the accident lawyer will act in their best interests.

The process to formally file the lawsuit requires knowledge of the local court system and rules of civil procedure active in the state. While it is possible for litigants to represent themselves, this is generally not recommended in cases where severe injuries and large sums of money are at play. After the case is filed, the lawyer will gather evidence through the discovery process, speak with witnesses, and advocate in a way that is likely to result in compensation for their client. When the case is concluded, the lawyer tries to get a settlement amount that is sufficient to cover all of their client’s losses.

Law Giant Injury Lawyers is staffed by a group of injury attorneys in Albuquerque who can provide these services.

WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD YOU ASK YOUR INJURY ATTORNEY?

There are certain things you should always know as the lawsuit is about to begin. You should understand the lawyer’s background and qualifications, and how they are relevant to your case and providing personalized services. It is also important to know exactly what the lawyer plans on doing to remedy the client’s problems and how this can be accomplished.

The timeline for the lawsuit is important as well. Most injury cases can last from a few months to a couple of years from start to finish. However, much of this depends on the complexity of the issues involved and the volume of evidence that must be analyzed. It is possible that some cases can take years to complete.

The client should have a clear idea of what they will need to provide to the attorney. This can include medical records and bills, accident reports, pictures of the scene, and other materials that are relevant to the injuries and the incident. It is best for these to be provided quickly to avoid delays in the case or extensions of the discovery process.

The firm’s fee structure is also important, as legal fees are usually paid through a contingent agreement that is based on payment after the attorney is successful in receiving compensation.

HOW WILL EVIDENCE BE USED IN YOUR PERSONAL INJURY CASE?

It is important for a skilled Albuquerque injury lawyer to be able to utilize any available evidence to show that the defendant named in the lawsuit is actually at fault for the victim’s injuries. This is done by meeting all of the elements of a negligence case in most situations. The evidence should clearly show that the defendant did not exercise reasonable care based on the situation, and that their behavior was the actual case of the plaintiff’s injuries.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF MY PERSONAL INJURY CASE?

If you have been hurt during the course of an accident, it is not obvious exactly how much compensation is available. The truth is that there is almost never a simple answer to this question. All of an accident victim’s losses are summarized during a statement of damages that their attorney lists when they first file the lawsuit.

In personal injury lawsuits, this may contain economic damages that can be shown through bills, invoices, and receipts, along with non-economic damages. Non-economic damages are often difficult to estimate as well, because the Albuquerque accident attorney needs to argue that their client’s physical pain, emotional trauma, and reductions in their quality of life should all be compensated relative to the severity of their injuries. In some cases where the defendant acted recklessly or maliciously, there may even be punitive damages available for the plaintiff that are meant as a form of punishment for unacceptable actions. Based on these various kinds of damages, it is important to know that an estimate from a legal professional is required to get an idea of the value of a lawsuit.

WILL MY CASE END IN A PERSONAL INJURY SETTLEMENT OR GO TO TRIAL?

As an injury lawsuit approaches its final stages, it is most common that you will be compensated through a settlement. This is because trials have become expensive, and there is a risk of the plaintiff not collecting anything at all based on the possibility of a jury verdict for the defendant. Settlements are a more efficient way to end the case, where there is a strong possibility that the victim can still get most or all of the compensation that they need to try to return to their normal life. All experienced lawyers are also skilled negotiators, and they have a history of clients who have received settlements that satisfy the victim.
