Car Accidents in New Mexico

Car accidents are an unfortunate reality on the roads of New Mexico. According to the New Mexico Department of Transportation, thousands of road traffic crashes occur annually, leading to significant injury and loss of life. Understanding the common causes of these accidents and where they occur can help drivers be more vigilant and take necessary precautions. 

While every area of New Mexico is prone to car crashes, certain cities tend to have more accidents than others. These include Santa Fe, Farmington, Rio Rancho, and Albuquerque. Car accidents, unfortunately, remain one of the leading causes of death in the state. Teen and senior drivers are prone to distracted driving car accidents.

Consequences

The consequences of car accidents range from mild injuries to severe, life-changing conditions or even fatalities. Apart from the physical and emotional trauma, car accident victims may also face significant financial challenges due to medical expenses, property damage, and loss of income.

Understanding the Legal Rights and Obligations in a Car Accident

Knowledge of your legal rights and obligations can significantly aid in pursuing compensation and justice for your car accident. 

A car accident victim has certain rights in New Mexico. You can seek compensation for any injury or loss you incurred due to the accident. This could cover medical expenses, earnings loss, changed earning capacity, pain and suffering, and more.

You also have the right to refuse any immediate settlement offers from insurance companies. These rapid offers often fall short of the compensation you may be entitled to. Always contact a legal professional before accepting any such offers.

What Do You Do After a Car Accident?

Following an accident, you'll need to stay in touch with your insurance company about updates and developments in your case. Keep all your paperwork on hand, and consider filing it in a safe location so you don't lose or damage it. Follow any treatment plans your doctor prescribes, and write a journal about new developments. Contact our New Mexico car accident lawyers as soon as possible to quickly get fair compensation.

Understanding Negligence and Determining Liability

Establishing who was at fault or negligent is critical in car accident cases. Negligence refers to a person's failure to act with the level of care that a reasonable person would have exercised under the same circumstances.

Proving negligence can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. Collecting papers and pursuing a case alone can leave you little time for anything else. There's an easier way, fortunately.

How a Car Accident Lawyer Can Help

A car accident lawyer can provide invaluable assistance. They can guide you on the laws relevant to your case, your rights, and the compensation you might be entitled to. They collect and preserve crucial evidence supporting your claim and debunk any claims the opposing side may make to reduce compensation.

When the insurance company disputes your claim, your lawyer can be instrumental in building a solid case with substantial evidence. Insurance companies often have their interests at heart and may employ tactics to minimize the compensation they pay out. An experienced car accident lawyer knows these tactics and can negotiate to ensure you receive fair compensation. 

Don't stress about fighting with the insurance company on your own. Reach out to Dolman Law Group to deal with insurance companies. When you work with us, you don't have to worry about getting the compensation you deserve.

Seeking Compensation 

Your lawyer plays a crucial role in seeking compensation. They do this by filing a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party, presenting a compelling case in court, and advocating for your rights.

Potential Compensation for Car Accident Victims 

Winning your car accident case brings justice and can also lead to financial compensation. This compensation covers medical bills and other losses you may have suffered due to the accident. Let's look at the compensation you may seek due to a car accident and how authorities determine these amounts.

Types of Compensation a Victim May Seek 

The compensation you may seek falls into economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are quantifiable with easy calculation.

They include:

• Medical expenses: This accounts for all costs related to medical care, from emergency room visits to ongoing therapy sessions.
• Lost earnings: If your injuries force you to take time off work or reduce your earning capacity, you may seek compensation for lost earnings.
• Property damage: This covers the repair or replacement costs of any damaged property, typically your vehicle.

Non-economic damages, on the other hand, don't have a clear monetary value.

They include:

• Pain and suffering: This compensates for the physical and emotional stress resulting from the accident.
• Emotional distress: This includes compensation for anxiety, depression, and other emotional trauma.
• Loss of consortium: This is compensation for the consequences of injuries on your relationship with your spouse or family.

Dolman Law Group can work with you to determine what amount you can get and how all these factors will come into play. You might be entitled to damages in one or even five or six categories, and while no one wants to deal with the fallout of a car accident, a compassionate lawyer will help you work through all the fine points and get back to what matters.

How to Determine the Compensation Amount 

The process of determining compensation amounts is unique to each case. Several factors come into play, including the severity of your injuries, the influence of the accident on your lifestyle, and your future medical needs. 

Your attorney will collect all necessary evidence and work with professionals to estimate your damages fairly. Remember, the aim is to ensure you receive fair compensation, not just what the insurance company initially offers.
