How Is Fault Determined in an Albuquerque Accident?

Personal injury lawyers use different sources of evidence to determine who was responsible for an accident, including police reports, photos and videos, medical records, and witness testimony.

To determine fault, your attorney must establish negligence by proving the following four factors:

  • Duty of Care: The party owed a duty of care to the victim, meaning they needed to act in a manner that would not cause harm.
  • Breach of Duty: Showing the party breached that duty by acting recklessly, carelessly, or negligently.
  • Causation: The party’s actions caused the accident and the victim’s injuries.
  • Damages: The victim suffered compensable damages because of the party’s negligence.

Our knowledgeable Albuquerque personal injury attorneys can help you determine who is at fault for your accident and hold them accountable for their negligence.

Olson Law Attorney

“If you’ve been injured as a result of someone else’s actions, you are likely going to need to talk to an insurance company and deal with trained professionals who will make it seem like the injury is your fault. You need an experienced personal injury attorney to help you navigate the process and ensure you are properly represented by the insurance company or the party that caused harm, ensuring you get justice for the harm caused”.Sean Olson

The Importance Of Working with an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer

Insurance companies don’t like to pay injury victims what they deserve. Instead, they’ll attempt to deny or undervalue your claim, making you a lowball settlement offer instead of giving you a fair deal. Our attorneys will have your back. We’ll reject unfair offers and demand the full compensation you need to move forward.

We know how to build strong cases. Our team will work to gather all available evidence, even if it’s not easily available. You won’t need to deal with the stress of filing paperwork and communicating back and forth with hostile insurance companies. We’ll handle every aspect of your claim so you can focus on healing and recovering from your injuries.

Compensation Available For Victims of Personal Injury Accidents

The full value of your claim will vary depending on several factors, including the severity of your injuries and who the liable parties are. Damages available to Albuquerque personal injury claimants are generally categorized as economic or non-economic.

Economic damages are those with a specific financial impact, like lost wages, medical expenses, or property damage. Non-economic damages compensate for the more subjective impacts on your life, like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life.

In rare cases, a judge may issue punitive damages to punish a liable party for intentional or egregious acts and deter future misconduct. In wrongful death claims, additional damages, including burial costs and lost financial support, are also available.

Albuquerque Personal Injury FAQs

Can I File a Personal Injury Lawsuit If I Was Partially at Fault?

Yes, you can still receive compensation for an Albuquerque personal injury claim if you were partially responsible for the accident. Under New Mexico’s pure comparative negligence standard, you can still receive damages as long as you aren’t 100 percent at fault for your injuries.

Your award will be reduced in proportion to your share of the blame for your injuries.

How Long Do I Have To File For a Personal Injury Case in Albuquerque?

New Mexico’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically three years after an accident. However, it’s important not to wait before starting your case. You will have the best chance of success if you contact a personal injury attorney immediately.

Will I Have to Go to Trial for My Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Most personal injury cases are settled before trial. However, insurance companies sometimes refuse to agree to a fair deal. If we have to go to court to get you the results you deserve, our experienced trial attorneys will be well-prepared to fight and win.

How Long Will My Personal Injury Lawsuit Take?

Every case is unique and will take a different amount of time to resolve based on the circumstances involved. Straightforward claims can settle in months, but more complicated cases can take a year or more to resolve. Your Albuquerque personal injury attorney can give you an estimated timeline and keep you updated on the status of your case throughout the process.
