Questions
What constitutes a personal injury case?
Personal injury cases involve physical, emotional, or psychological harm caused by someone else's negligence. This includes auto accidents, slip-and-falls, defective products, and animal attacks where another party's actions resulted in injury.
How long do I have to file a claim?
New Mexico's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the injury date. Contacting an attorney promptly ensures proper evidence preservation and timely filing.
What compensation can I recover?
Victims may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Severe cases might include future medical costs, permanent disability compensation, and punitive damages against negligent parties.
Do I need an attorney for my case?
While not legally required, insurance companies have legal teams working to minimize payouts. An experienced attorney balances this power dynamic, ensuring fair evaluation and aggressive pursuit of your rightful compensation.
How are legal fees structured?
We work on a contingency fee basis - you pay no legal fees unless we secure compensation. Our fee comes from a pre-agreed percentage of your settlement or court award.
