Giant Wins for All Injuries
Our personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of accidents and serious injuries across New Mexico.
The first legal step in seeking compensation after a car accident in NM usually involves filing a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Your lawyer will handle all communication with the insurer to ensure nothing is said that could damage your case.
The insurance company often offers a settlement, but these offers are rarely sufficient. Your attorney will evaluate the offer to determine if it adequately covers your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.
Insurance negotiations are a significant part of the car accident lawsuit process. Your lawyer will present evidence of your damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, and emotional suffering, and work to negotiate a fair car accident settlement.
If a reasonable settlement can be reached during these negotiations, your case may be resolved without litigation. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, the next step is filing a lawsuit.
If settlement negotiations fail, your lawyer may file a lawsuit to pursue the compensation you deserve. In New Mexico, you generally have three years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit, known as the statute of limitations. The lawsuit process typically involves several phases:
The lawsuit begins with both parties filing initial documents outlining their claims and defenses. This is where both parties lay the groundwork for their arguments. The pleadings clarify what each party believes happened, why they are entitled to relief, or why they should not be held liable.
This is the fact-finding phase of a lawsuit, where both sides exchange crucial information to build their cases. Discovery allows your lawyer to gather the evidence, take depositions, request documents necessary to support your claims and prepare for trial.
Before the trial begins, either party may file motions to address certain issues or dismiss the case altogether. Your lawyer will respond to these motions, defending your position and ensuring your case proceeds to trial if necessary.
While many car accident cases settle before trial, some will proceed to court. If your case goes to trial, your lawyer will present it before a judge or jury. The trial process typically includes:
Each side presents its version of events during opening statements. Your lawyer will outline the facts of the accidents, the injuries you sustained, and why the defendant is liable. The defense will also present their version of events, which sets the stage for the next part of the trial.
This is the heart of the trial, where both sides present evidence to support their claims. Your lawyer will present evidence supporting your claim, including witness testimony, medical records, and expert opinions.
After your lawyer presents your case, the defense can question your witnesses and challenge your evidence. Your lawyer can also cross-examine the defense’s witnesses to test the credibility and reliability of their case.
In closing arguments, both sides summarize their cases, highlighting the evidence that supports their positions. Your lawyer will aim to persuade the judge or jury that the defendant is liable for your injuries and that you deserve compensation. The defense will also make their final appeal, arguing against liability or for a reduced award.
After closing arguments, the judge or jury deliberates and delivers a verdict. They will determine whether the defendant is responsible for your injuries and, if so, how much compensation you should receive. The verdict is the culmination of the entire process and can significantly impact your future.
AT THE LAW GIANT,
We Win Big!
With thousands of satisfied clients, our New Mexico injury attorneys have what it takes.
The injured party must prove that the other driver was negligent to win a car accident lawsuit. This includes showing that the defendant had a duty to drive safely, breached that duty through reckless or careless behavior and that this breach directly caused the accident and your injuries. You must also demonstrate the extent of your damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from the accident.
In New Mexico, the statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit is generally three years from the date of the accident. However, it’s important to consult an attorney as soon as possible to ensure that all deadlines are met and that critical evidence is preserved.
You can seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages, including medical expenses, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and any future costs related to your injuries, such as rehabilitation or long-term care.
If the at-fault driver does not have insurance, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own insurance policy’s uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Your attorney can help you navigate this process and ensure you receive the compensation you’re entitled to.
While hiring an attorney is not required, having one significantly increases your chances of winning your case and maximizing your compensation. An experienced car accident lawyer will handle negotiations with insurance companies, gather crucial evidence, and represent you in court if necessary.
