Auto Wrecks

When careless drivers cause injuries to others, including their passengers, often times such injuries are traumatic in nature and seriously affect the lives of the victim and their family.  For example, on December 23, 2002, the roads in Eastern New Mexico had iced over and driving conditions were extremely dangerous.  Our client was a passenger in a vehicle owned by the driver’s employer and being driven by her relative.  The driver was driving too fast for the icy conditions that day, lost control of the vehicle, causing it to roll-over.  Our client was seriously injured, including traumatic head and abdomen injuries, and incurred over $500,000.00 in medical bills.  The insurance company for the driver fought hard not to fairly compensate our client for her injuries for which she had not caused.  In the end, our firm successfully represented our client and settled the her claims for $1.5 Million dollars. We brought the truth to the family and we brought justice by way of a confidential settlement to sufficient to provide our clients with financial security.

Motor vehicle collisions occur on our streets everyday.  Not surprisingly, many result in serious injuries to those who are not a fault.  Motor vehicle collisions can range from single vehicle collisions to multi-car pile-ups resulting in death, serious injuries and/or other damages such as medical expenses, loss of wages, temporary or permanent disability, and physical pain and suffering. 

There several things you need to consider if you’ve been in a motor vehicle collision.  You may be able to make a claim against the driver of the at fault vehicle, the owner of that vehicle, an employer, or other third-parties that may also be at fault.  Additionally, you may have to make a claim for uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage from you own insurance policy.  Often, clients have personal injury protection or medical pay under their policy to which you are entitled to for payment of medical expenses and lost wages.  Our team of experienced lawyers knows how to think outside the box and discover all possible means of recovery for you.  We handle a large number of auto wrecks each year, many involving serious injuries and even death.  If you or a loved one has been injured in a motor vehicle collision, call us today to protect your rights.
