Frequently Asked Questions

If you have been injured, it’s natural that you may have some pressing questions. Our team is happy to answer any questions at a consultation, but below are a few of the questions we see most often:

What steps should you take after an accident?

You should always seek medical care for anyone who has been injured. It’s also helpful to take pictures or videos at the scene. You’ll want to contact the authorities to report the crash. Moving forward, you may need to gather documentation such as medical records and police reports.

What type of compensation do you deserve?

There are some immediate costs after the accident, such as the cost of emergency care or hospitalization. You also want to consider the wages that you’re going to lose if it means that you’re missing time at work. But be sure to consider the long-term financial costs, such as a reduced earning capacity or long-term care needs. You also may want to consider pain and suffering, disfigurement, disability and much more.

What is the statute of limitations in New Mexico?

For personal injury claims after a car accident, New Mexico sets the statute of limitations at two years.

Should you take a settlement from the insurance company?

Possibly, but it’s important to work with your legal team to consider it carefully. One mistake that people sometimes make is accepting a settlement that only pays their immediate bills but does not consider their long-term needs. If you do accept such an agreement, you may not be able to seek further compensation in the future, such as if you can’t return to work or you need future surgeries and other medical procedures.
