About Personal Injury Law in Albuquerque, New Mexico

If your injuries were caused by another person’s negligent or reckless acts, you may be entitled to financial compensation. You may be able to seek compensatory damages to make up for ongoing medical care, as well as damage to personal property, such as a vehicle or other items. The cost of an injury is not always limited to money.

Accident victims often experience non-economic injuries, like pain, suffering, or loss of enjoyment. Maybe you are no longer able to tend to your beloved garden because of a back injury. Alternatively, you may no longer be able to chase the grandkids around the yard due to lung damage from breathing in low-quality air over many years at your workplace.

Whatever the case may be, an experienced Albuquerque personal injury attorney will seek maximum compensation for all of the consequences of your injury. You could even be awarded punitive damages, according to the Arizona Bar Association. If exemplary damages apply, your settlement could increase dramatically.

Take the Following Steps After an Accident in Albuquerque

When you are still getting your bearings after a serious accident, it is easy to make mistakes that could cost you a portion of your settlement. It is crucial that you avoid panicking wherever possible. Your personal injury lawyer in Albuquerque, NM, can guide you through the claims process while you heal. But in the meantime, here are some things you can do to safeguard your rights:

1. Seek Medical Treatment

It is not unusual for injury victims to be unaware of the extent of their injuries. You may be running on the adrenaline coursing through your body now, but once you begin to relax, you may begin to feel the full trauma of your injuries. For this reason, we strongly encourage you to get the medical attention you need as soon as possible after the accident.

Keep a record of your medical journey after the accident. Include each visit you made, the days you had to take off work, the diagnosis and treatment you received, and the cost of your medical care. This documentation provides evidence of the economic damages you incurred from your injury and the non-economic damages (pain and suffering) you endured.

2. Gather Evidence

If your injuries do not prevent you from doing so, collect as much evidence as you can that could support your right to compensation or liability for the accident. For example, immediately after the accident, while you wait for the police to arrive, you could talk with witnesses and request their contact information so your personal injury attorney in Albuquerque with Zinda Law Group can call on them to testify on your behalf. You could also use your phone to take photos of the accident scene and your injuries.

After you hire our legal representatives, we will conduct an intensive investigation that may involve working with forensic experts and accident reconstructionists to build the strongest case possible. Any evidence you can collect immediately after the accident could help us accomplish this goal.

3. Get Help from a Reputable Personal Injury Lawyer

When you are not sure what legal options are available to you, our team can put you on the right path. If a personal injury lawyer with our firm determines that someone else is responsible for causing the accident you were involved in, we might encourage you to take action and demand the fair compensation that is rightfully yours.

Zinda Law Group Handles Most Types of Personal Injuries

Our legal professionals have decades of experience advocating for the rights of injury victims who have been involved in a wide array of accidents and endured countless types of injuries. You deserve an Albuquerque personal injury lawyer whose experience and dedication are unmatched. Here are some of the types of accidents our clients report.

Albuquerque Car Accidents

Car accident claims can also involve pedestrians, motorcyclists, commercial trucks, bicyclists, rideshares, and virtually any other type of motor vehicle. Generally, negligent driving is the most common cause of car accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Traffic Safety Facts Statistical Summary on Critical Reasons for Crashes Investigated in the National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Survey. However, treacherous road conditions and malfunctioning vehicle parts are also known to result in catastrophic injury and death.

Albuquerque Bike Accidents

Bicycle accidents are most often caused by dangerous drivers. Do not be surprised if the driver who hits you blames you for the crash, especially if you were not wearing a bicycle helmet as required by The Child Helmet Safety Act. Your legal representative can build a powerful case against the liable party and ensure fault is firmly established in your case.

Albuquerque Truck Accidents

In commercial truck accident lawsuits, we frequently file claims against reckless truck drivers and trucking companies. It is truly appalling how many truck companies not only violate Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules and regulations but encourage and even penalize their truckers if they do not do so as well.

Failure to properly vet potential truckers and forcing them to violate hours-of-service rules under 49 CFR 395 are just a couple of reasons to hold trucking companies accountable.

Albuquerque Premises Injuries

Premises liability accidents can include any type of accident that occurs on someone else’s property. This includes both public and private property. Typically, premises liability lawsuits are appropriate if the property owner fails to uphold their duty of care to their invited guests and patrons.

Slip and fall accidents are some of the most common types of premises liability claims. You may have grounds for legal action if the property owner fails to take necessary safety precautions, make repairs, or maintain the integrity of the premises. However, there are also other types of premises liability claims, including those involving public nuisances and animal attacks.

Albuquerque Dog Bite and Animal Attack Cases

Animal attacks and dog bites in Albuquerque may be considered a type of premises liability claim. This is because pet owners have a legal obligation to maintain control over their animals. New Mexico follows strict liability rules according to the New Mexico Legislature, though there is no formal legal statute.

Dog owners will be held accountable for their animals, even if the animal has not previously bitten, attacked, or shown signs of aggression. However, there are a couple of stipulations. If the dog was provoked into behaving aggressively, or the victim was trespassing at the time of the attack, the dog’s owner may be able to escape total financial liability.

Albuquerque Ski Accidents

Like several of her neighbors, New Mexico attracts many tourists as well as people from across her own state to explore and enjoy skiing or snowboarding every year. Unfortunately, despite the fun and attraction of snowboarding or skiing, these winter sports can pose serious dangers. This is especially true if other skiers or ski resort operators do not take appropriate care to avoid potentially harmful accidents.

Albuquerque Wrongful Death Cases

Our firm is also here to help those who have lost loved ones in an accident caused by someone else’s reckless or wrongful conduct. Under N.M. Stat. §41-2-1, you may have grounds for a wrongful death action against the individual or entity who caused your family member’s death. However, do not hesitate to contact our office to make sure you have the authority to do so, as New Mexico law only allows specific family members this right.

Some Injuries Occur More Often than Others

Do not let your worries that your injuries may not be serious enough prevent you from contacting a legal representative for help. As long as your injuries are making it difficult or impossible for you to live your life normally, you have just as much a right to compensation as someone who lost a limb, has been paralyzed, or has suffered a traumatic brain injury. Here are some of the most common types of injuries our clients endured:

Birth injuries
Broken bones
Bruising
Burns
Chronic pain
Concussion
Facial trauma
Lacerations
Internal injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Surgical errors
Whiplash

Act Quickly if You Believe You Have a Personal Injury Claim

In New Mexico, the personal injury statute of limitations is three years. If you are considering filing a lawsuit after suffering an injury, you need to ensure that you submit all the necessary paperwork before this cutoff date. Failure to meet the deadline could result in the loss of your right to recover compensation.

However, you should note that exceptions to the standard deadline do exist in some cases. The details of your situation will determine whether or not special circumstances apply. In some situations, you may be able to submit a lawsuit long after the standard cutoff date, while other cases may result in further limits being placed on the amount of time you have to file.

When you hire an experienced personal injury lawyer in Albuquerque, we will evaluate your case to determine the exact deadline you must meet. We will prepare all the necessary paperwork and ensure that everything is filed on time.
