Albuquerque Personal Injury Attorney

Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Albuquerque

We represent people and families facing serious injuries or a death caused by another party’s conduct. Each claim requires its own investigation, whether the incident involved a commercial vehicle, dangerous work conditions, defective equipment, or an individual driver.

Common types of personal injury cases we handle in Albuquerque include:

• Truck Accidents
• Catastrophic Injuries
• Brain Injuries
• Burn Injuries
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Pedestrian Accidents
• Wrongful Death

We also handle oil and gas accidents and catastrophic injuries involving spinal cord damage, amputations, crush injuries, broken bones, equipment incidents, and work accidents. Serious claims may require accident-scene evidence, medical documentation, employment records, witness information, and opinions from qualified professionals.

Truck accident cases can involve driver records, company documents, vehicle data, maintenance information, and evidence held by multiple parties. Oil and gas accident claims may require a close review of the companies involved, the work being performed, and the equipment or conditions connected to the incident.

Former Defense Insight & Trial Preparation

Joel Simon and Ryan Perdue lead our firm with experience handling high-stakes disputes. Before representing injured people, our attorneys defended major oil and gas companies. That background provides insight into how corporate defendants and insurers evaluate liability, medical evidence, and claimed losses.

We prepare cases with trial in mind rather than treating litigation as an afterthought. Preparation can include identifying disputed facts, preserving records, assessing the available insurance coverage, and anticipating arguments that an insurer or corporate defendant may raise. We explain those issues in clear terms so clients can make informed decisions as a case develops.

We founded our firm in 2022 on the principle of advocating for people who can’t defend themselves. Joel Simon has recovered millions for clients, and our work has received recognition from America’s Best Advocates, Super Lawyers, the American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys, and Attorney and Practice Magazine.

Compensation in a New Mexico Personal Injury Claim

Compensation depends on the evidence, the nature of the injuries, the parties’ respective fault, available insurance coverage, and the long-term effects of the accident. We evaluate both documented financial losses and the ways an injury changes a client’s work, routines, relationships, and future needs.

Economic losses may include:

• Hospital care and rehabilitation expenses
• Follow-up appointments and prescription medications
• Medical equipment and anticipated treatment needs
• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity

We also examine nonfinancial harm such as physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. These losses aren’t reflected in a single invoice, so the supporting evidence may include medical records, testimony about daily limitations, and documentation showing how the injuries have affected work and personal activities.

For a serious injury, calculating lost income may require more than adding the paychecks missed immediately after the accident. The analysis can include whether the injured person can return to the same position, work the same hours, or follow the same career path. Future medical needs may also affect how a claim is evaluated.

A wrongful death claim is legally distinct from an injured person’s claim. Depending on the circumstances and applicable New Mexico law, recoverable losses may include funeral and burial expenses, lost financial support, and the loss of guidance and companionship. Rules involving governmental entities or medical malpractice can differ from those governing an ordinary private-party claim, making a case-specific legal review important.
