FAQs About Pedestrian Accidents

Who pays for medical bills after a pedestrian accident?

The driver or party found at fault may be financially responsible. Claims are generally filed against that individual’s insurance, though some coverage may also come from your own health or auto insurance in certain situations.

How do New Mexico’s comparative fault rules affect my claim?

In New Mexico, you may recover damages even if you share some responsibility. The law reduces any financial award by your percentage of fault as determined in the case.

Does Carlsbad’s local traffic or industry increase pedestrian risks?

Areas near Carlsbad’s oil and gas operations and along busier streets can lead to more hazardous conditions for pedestrians, making extra attention to safety and local rules vital for every case.

How quickly should I contact a pedestrian accident attorney after an injury?

Reaching out soon after a collision helps protect your rights and gives your attorney time to gather key evidence. Acting quickly makes it easier to build a successful case.

Can I still file a claim if the driver leaves the scene?

Yes, but these cases often need additional investigation and different strategies with insurance. Prompt legal help can improve your chances of finding a solution.
