Injuries You Can Suffer in a Santa Fe Ski Injury Accident
If you’ve been involved in a ski injury accident, it’s important to understand the potential injuries you may have suffered. Here are some common injuries you should be aware of following a Santa Fe ski injury accident:
- Fractures and broken bones: Skiing accidents often involve high-impact collisions or falls, leading to fractures or breaks in the bones, particularly in the arms, legs, wrists, or ankles.
- Head and brain injuries: Falls or collisions can cause injuries ranging from concussions to more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). These injuries may result in cognitive difficulties, memory loss, or long-term neurological impairments.
- Spinal cord injuries: Ski accidents can cause spinal cord injuries, resulting in paralysis or loss of motor function. These injuries can profoundly impact your quality of life and require extensive medical care and rehabilitation.
- Soft tissue injuries: Twisting or sudden movements during a ski accident can lead to sprains, strains, or tears in muscles, tendons, or ligaments. These soft tissue injuries can cause significant pain, swelling, and limited mobility.
- Dislocations and joint injuries: Skiing accidents can cause shoulders, knees, or other joint dislocations. These injuries can be extremely painful and may require surgery or ongoing medical treatment.
- Cuts, abrasions, and contusions: Collisions with objects or falls on icy surfaces can result in cuts, abrasions, and bruises. While these injuries may be less severe, they can still cause pain, scarring, and the risk of infection.
It’s important to seek immediate medical attention if you’ve been injured in a ski accident, even if the injury initially appears minor. Prompt medical evaluation can help diagnose hidden or internal injuries and ensure appropriate treatment.

As soon as you’ve suffered an injury from skiing in Santa Fe, the countdown of the statute of limitations begins. You have three years from the ski injury to file a personal injury claim against the liable parties.
Understanding the statute of limitations is essential as it affects the viability of your claim and your ability to pursue the compensation you deserve. By acting fast and within the specified timeframe, you can protect your rights and ensure you have sufficient time to gather evidence, assess your damages, and initiate the legal process if necessary.
If you’ve lost a loved one in a skiing accident, according to N.M. Stat. § 41-2-2, you’ll also only have three years to file a claim. However, in both cases, the deadlines could differ due to case details. If this applies to you, our Santa Fe ski injury accident lawyers can help determine how long you have to file.

Our team has several qualities that can help enhance your Santa Fe ski injury accident case. Here are some of the ways we stand out from other New Mexico law firms:
We Prioritize Communication
Communicating quickly and effectively with our clients is one of our top priorities. We’ll keep you updated every time something changes in your case. And if you have questions about your case, we’ll thoroughly answer them.
Our clients have told us that they appreciate our honest and open communication in their cases. When you work with us, you’ll never be left wondering what’s happening in your case.
We Get Results
At our law firm, we have smaller dockets for our team, which means we can spend more time and resources on each case. This often leads to our team recovering better settlements than firms that take on multiple cases simultaneously.
Another way we can get higher settlements for our clients is by going to court without hesitating. We know the risks of taking cases to court, but we have the experience to successfully litigate your case to win your case. Here are some of the top settlements we’ve won for our clients:
- $1,530,000 settlement for a motor vehicle accident
- $7,723,000 recovery for a truck accident
- $1,900,000 recovery for a dog bite case
- $1,500,000 settlement for a wrongful death case
You don’t Pay Unless We Win
When pursuing a lawsuit, one of the most stressful aspects is wondering how you will pay your lawyer for their services. But we believe you shouldn’t have to pay unless our Santa Fe ski injury accident lawyers win you a settlement.
That’s why our team works on a contingency fee that allows us to handle your case without you paying anything out of pocket. Then, if we win your case, we’ll deduct a percentage of your settlement for our fees.
