These types of accidents, whether it’s from someone operating a motor vehicle, or someone who was responsible for another’s health or wellbeing, can all cause accidents that take seconds, but the consequences can be much longer.

If you’re dealing with injuries that will not fully heal or have a disability that will affect your job, our lawyers will stand up for you. Catastrophic injuries are serious and you deserve to have an experienced attorney fight for you to get fair compensation.

Even if your injuries will heal, you can still have significant obstacles in between you and getting back to your everyday life. Our lawyers understand how each client’s case will be unique, as well as how they were affected, and how these details factor into their lives. We’ll go over what happened in your case so we know your side of the story, and we can get to work in helping you.

Have Rio Rancho, NM Personal Injury Lawyers on Your Side

Shortly after an accident, or when you’re coming forward with a claim, a representative from the insurance company may get in contact with you. Insurance adjusters will likely seek out information about what happened and your injuries and damages, and offer you a settlement for your claim. While this seems straightforward, this is not the best way to protect your rights or best interests.

The insurance adjuster is not on your side. They are looking out for the insurance company’s bottom line, which will involve paying you less than you deserve. Accepting that settlement could lead to financial difficulties when it’s time to pay for future medical bills or medical equipment. They can get this information when you make official statements, but you may not realize that you’re making one. If you’re contacted, our Rio Rancho, NM personal injury lawyers can work with them so your claim isn’t put in jeopardy.

Your personal injury attorney will investigate every injury, every loss, and take how long these will affect you into account. Your compensation should cover all that you’ve suffered and not put you in a position of hardship in the future. Let’s take a look at the components that can make up your compensation.

What Will Your Personal Injury Lawyer Fight for You to Recover?

After your accident, the costs of what happened can start to take hold. The financial losses and injuries are enough to deal with on their own, let alone taking legal action. With representation from Rio Rancho, NM personal injury lawyers, we’ll handle your case and you can focus on treatment.

Our investigation will allow us to find the total injuries and losses that you’ve suffered from the accident. Those damages usually fall under one of two categories:

Economic Damages. These are your financial losses. Your medical bills, future medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage are all possible damages you can recover. Your personal injury lawyer will take the treatment you’ll need to afford as you go through your recovery into account. If your injury has affected your ability to go back to your job, then diminished earning capacity or loss of earnings may also apply to your case.
Noneconomic Damages. Other consequences from the accident may still affect your life, but don’t arrive in the form of a bill. But you can still recover compensation for them. Pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and mental anguish are all forms of noneconomic damages.

As your attorney is analyzing the case evidence, we may find that punitive damages apply to your case. These types of damages have the sole purpose of punishing the party at fault for your injuries. For you to receive these damages, your lawyer will need to prove that the other party was malicious, reckless, or willful and wanton.

Taking every loss into account and keeping the scope of the accident in mind will allow you to seek fair compensation that will help you with your losses. You’ll be able to get the treatment you deserve without worrying about work or how long you’ll need to stay home and rest. This can provide peace of mind to anyone recovering from injuries, but can also be another layer of comfort if you have others depending on you.
