New Mexico Car Accident Lawyer

Law Firm for Motor Vehicle Accidents in El Paso

Car accidents can come out of nowhere. One moment, you are driving carefully and going about your business as usual. The next, you have been hit by someone who was not driving carefully. You may be left injured on the side of the road next to your inoperable vehicle. You will likely be faced with medical bills and lost wages while you are missing work due to your injuries. These are only the beginning of the expenses associated with the accident.

At the Cal Mundell Law Firm, PLLC, we may be able to help you recover compensation for these costs and more. Our goal is to hold the negligent driver who caused the accident accountable. We may be able to help you pursue an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit that can protect you from the financial harms associated with a car accident while ensuring that you can access the medical care and any other help you may need.

Car accidents rarely "just happen." As a general rule, auto accidents occur because one driver was careless or broke a law. Types of car accidents we can help with include:

• Rear-end collisions - These are generally caused by the driver in back becoming distracted or failing to take weather conditions into account when calculating their stopping distance.
• Head-on collisions - Front-impact accidents can be incredibly destructive for all involved. These are often caused by intoxicated drivers.
• T-bone collisions - These are often very harmful for those in the vehicle struck, as the occupants have only the doors for protection. T-bone collisions are often the result of one vehicle failing to yield or running a red light.
• Amazon contractor accidents - Many Amazon delivery drivers are independent contractors making deliveries in their personal vehicles. These rushed drivers may make serious safety mistakes.

One of Cal's first tasks is to seek out evidence of the at-fault driver's carelessness. We use a variety of investigative techniques, from obtaining nearby security camera footage to interviewing witnesses and analyzing physical evidence like vehicle debris and tire tracks.

Types of Compensation After a Car Accident in New Mexico

When you are not the one at fault for the accident, you should not be forced to deal with the financial consequences. You may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical costs - This can be a very broad category. While things like your initial hospital bill are clearly covered, so are your ongoing and future medical expenses. For example, if you suffer a catastrophic injury and will need long-term care, this may be covered as well.
• Lost wages - Whether you miss only a few days of work or will never be able to return to work, your lost income can be covered as part of a car accident settlement or award.
• Pain and suffering - Noneconomic damages like your pain and suffering may entitle you to additional compensation. Many people who have been injured in car accidents experience considerable anguish, both mental and physical, as a result.
• Property damage - Damage to your car and any property inside it that was also damaged may be covered.

These are only a few of the major categories of compensation that may be available after a car accident. Cal will carefully evaluate each category of damages available in order to ensure that we are demanding nothing less than full and complete compensation for every type of harm you have suffered.
