Many different things can contribute to rollover crashes in New Mexico, from human error to vehicle flaws.
Being in a car accident is incredibly stressful. Many victims are in a daze afterward. If you are ever in a crash or a hit-and-run accident, try to remember the following steps.
Check yourself and any of the passengers for injuries. In severe cases, do not move or have your passengers move as this can make the injuries worse.
If possible, move your vehicle to the side of the road or the shoulder. This helps clear up the road and improve the flow of traffic and also gets you out of harm’s way and into a safer spot on the road.
Having a police report can help get all the details correct—an incredibly important factor, especially for when you decide to file a claim or open a case.
Exchange information with the other driver involved in the crash and take as many pictures as you can. Pictures should be of the damage done to your car, to any other cars involved, and the surrounding area for context.
Contact your insurance immediately to begin your claim. They may ask you for a lot of details, so although this is important to do as soon as possible, don’t do it immediately after the car crash if you are dazed and cannot think clearly.
Last but not least, contact an experienced attorney at Shapiro Law Team. We are ready to assess your car accident experience and help build you a case so you can get financially compensated for any damages.
Getting compensation for your crash depends on many factors, including but not limited to:
Working with a lawyer is extremely important to accurately calculate all damages. This compensation amount you are entitled to is reflective of the total sum of damages. Contact a lawyer so you get the most accurate sum.
Once you begin an insurance claim, the insurance adjuster typically is the one that determines fault. This means they will investigate the scenario to accurately determine fault. They look at the following factors:
When in a car accident, do not admit any fault to others, including the police. Make concrete statements, but do not say things like “this was my fault” or “I should not have done this.” Even if the accident seems like it could be your fault, do not admit it because it could put you at risk of not getting any financial compensation that you may be entitled to.
According to New Mexico’s Motor Vehicle Department, the minimum liability amount is 25,000 for bodily injury or death per person. These liability amounts are implemented to cover damages if you are at fault.
