1 in 8 vehicle fatalities that occur involve a semi-truck. Accidents happen every day in New Mexico and are very dangerous. Truck drivers get complacent after driving for 10+ hours at a time and start to forget safety rules that keep us all protected on the road. There are 1,400 semi-truck accidents in New Mexico every year. While that may seem like a small number, the long-term damage done by most of those 1,400 crashes is unthinkable.
In 2019, over 4,000 fatalities occurred from trucking accidents in the United States. Our attorneys have 50+ year combined experience in litigating truck accidents. Our clients have recovered millions in compensation due to those accidents. We fully investigate each case to determine the best plan of action moving forward. We will review the defendant’s driving history, the truck’s electronic control module for data, any video taken by witnesses or surveillance footage and eyewitness statements.
We will take that evidence and determine who is at fault for the crash. After that, we will speak with your insurance company and negotiate to ensure you recover what is fair following the crash. Keep in mind negotiating with insurance companies takes time and sometimes settlements are unable to be reached. Our attorneys are willing and able to file a lawsuit and take the defendant to trial in order to reach the best outcome. We have delivered results time and time again when other firms have failed to do so.
Remember, following a crash report the accident to police and stay at the scene until police arrive. Try to gather any evidence and get eyewitness’ contact information that can be later used in your accident claim. Photos and video of the accident help our attorney understand what happened and who is at fault. Reach out to us today so we can begin the process of helping you move forward from the accident you have suffered.
