FAQs
Is New Mexico a Fault or No-Fault State?
New Mexico is an at-fault state for vehicle collisions, including truck crashes. Under this framework, the driver who causes a car crash is responsible for compensating injured victims of the collision. This is typically done through negotiations with the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier.
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Truck Accident?
If a truck driver is responsible for causing a crash, that driver is the liable party. Since most truck drivers work for a trucking company, that company would also be liable. New Mexico law allows multiple parties to share liability for a truck collision, and complex cases may involve shared fault that determines what percentage of compensation victims ultimately receive.
Can I Recover Compensation for Pain and Suffering?
Yes. You can recover compensation for pain and suffering, along with other forms of non-economic damages. Insurance companies may try to downplay the emotional harm you endured, which is why securing legal representation is key. The right legal support can help you reclaim compensation for both the tangible and intangible forms of harm you endured following a truck accident in New Mexico.
What Factors Affect the Value of a Truck Accident Claim?
The factors that affect the value of a truck accident claim include the severity of the injury and the degree of negligence on the part of the truck driver. Since trucks are much larger and heavier than normal cars and passenger trucks, they can cause devastating injuries that can lead to large settlements.
