Personal Injury
Lawyers who practice in this area are:
Mark A. Glenn and Jocelyn R. Castillo.
Unfortunately, people are hurt every day in accidents on New Mexico’s roads and highways. We have represented injured people on a variety of personal injury claims, many of them involving motor vehicles. If applicable, injured persons are entitled to recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages that are attributable to their injuries. Injured parties may be entitled to recover punitive damages if they can demonstrate the negligent party acted intentionally or willfully. These claims generally involve negotiation with the insurance company or companies that have insured the driver who caused the accident. If negotiating with the insurance company is not successful, a lawsuit against the negligent driver and/or owner of the other car is necessary. Generally, we represent injured people on a contingency fee basis. In return for representation, clients agree, in writing, to pay a percentage (generally, one-third) of the gross amount recovered through settlement or litigation. In addition, clients are responsible for paying all costs, including but not limited to copies of medical records, bills and reports, deposition fees, witness fees, filing fees, service of process fees and expert witness fees, including accident reconstruct experts and medical experts. The client will bear all expenses incurred regardless of the outcome.
