Roswell Personal Injury Lawyer
Seriously Injured in Roswell? Work with Former Oil & Gas Defense Lawyers.
After a serious accident, medical treatment, lost income, and insurance pressure can make it difficult to focus on recovery. Claims involving commercial trucks, oil and gas operations, catastrophic injuries, or wrongful death may also involve several companies, insurers, or contractors. Identifying the responsible parties and preserving evidence early can be critical.
A claim may account for medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, reduced earning capacity, and future care needs. Acting promptly also helps protect your claim because deadlines vary based on the parties involved and the type of case.
At Simon Perdue Law, we explain each stage of the legal process and the decisions that can affect your claim.

How Our Roswell Injury Attorneys Build Your Case
When you’re seriously hurt in an accident, it can be overwhelming to deal with insurance adjusters, medical providers, and paperwork while you’re trying to heal. We manage the legal and insurance process while keeping you informed about the decisions that affect your claim.
How we support your case:
- Gather Key Evidence: We collect available crash reports, medical records, photographs, witness statements, and other documentation relevant to liability and damages.
- Handle Insurance Communications: We communicate directly with insurance adjusters and respond to requests for information that could affect your claim.
- Identify Responsible Parties: We evaluate whether liability may extend beyond the person directly involved to a trucking company, oil and gas operator, contractor, employer, property owner, or another entity.
- Analyze Your Losses: We review medical expenses, lost income, permanent impairment, and anticipated future care when documenting the harm caused by the injury.
- Guide You Through Each Stage: From the initial investigation and settlement discussions through litigation, discovery, and trial preparation, we explain what’s happening and what to expect next.
We prepare cases with the possibility of trial in mind, including claims against large corporate defendants. That preparation gives us a structured basis for evaluating settlement offers and advising you about whether continued negotiations or litigation fits your circumstances.

Trial-Ready Representation for Serious Roswell Injury Claims
Joel Simon and Ryan Perdue lead our representation of people facing serious injuries and losses. We handle oil and gas accidents, truck accidents, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death cases, including claims involving corporate defendants and complex questions about liability.
Our attorneys previously represented major oil and gas companies on the defense side. That background helps us evaluate how opposing companies and defense teams may investigate an accident, assess damages, challenge liability, and approach settlement risk. We use that perspective to prepare evidence, anticipate defenses, and build each case for negotiations or trial.
Our approach is supported by:
- Substantial Case Experience: Joel Simon has recovered millions for clients, and Ryan Perdue has handled thousands of cases during his career.
- Direct Attorney Access: Clients receive their attorneys’ personal cell phone numbers and can reach them 24/7 with questions about their cases.
- Clear Communication: We explain legal issues, insurance claims, and case decisions in direct language so clients understand their available options.
- Professional Recognition: Our attorneys have received recognition from Super Lawyers, the American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys, and Attorney and Practice Magazine.
We founded our firm in 2022 on the principle of advocating for underserved people. When negotiations don’t reflect the documented harm, we’re prepared to continue through litigation and trial rather than treating an early settlement as the only path forward.

Serious Personal Injury Cases We Handle
We represent Roswell clients in high-stakes claims involving oil and gas operations, commercial trucks, catastrophic harm, and fatal injuries. These cases may require evidence from multiple sources and a careful analysis of medical expenses, lost income, future care needs, and the responsibility of companies or other third parties.
We handle the following serious injury claims:
- Oil and Gas Accidents: These claims may involve explosions, equipment failures, unsafe work conditions, contractor relationships, or overlapping employer and third-party responsibility. We examine the companies involved and the evidence available to determine who may be legally responsible.
- Truck Accidents: Commercial trucking liability may depend on driver conduct, vehicle maintenance, company practices, cargo issues, electronic records, and crash-scene evidence. We prepare claims involving delivery vehicles, commercial fleets, and 18-wheelers.
- Catastrophic Injuries: Life-altering harm may include traumatic brain injuries, severe burn injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, or permanent disability. These claims may require detailed documentation of reduced earning capacity and lifelong care.
- Wrongful Death: Eligible representatives or family members may pursue a claim following a fatal injury. Recoverable losses can depend on New Mexico law and may include funeral expenses, lost financial support, and lost household contributions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Do Immediately after a Personal Injury?
After an injury, focus on your health and safety. Get medical attention quickly, even if you feel fine, since some injuries may appear later. Collect evidence from the scene, such as photos and witness contact information. Keep medical records, bills, correspondence, and repair estimates if needed. Reaching out to a personal injury attorney in Roswell can help you understand your rights and the information worth preserving.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in New Mexico?
Under NMSA 1978, Section 37-1-8, you generally have three years from the date of the incident to file most personal injury claims in New Mexico. Exceptions and shorter deadlines may apply, particularly when a government entity, minor, or other special circumstance is involved. A case-specific review is important before relying on the general deadline.
How Is Compensation Determined in Personal Injury Cases?
The seriousness of your injuries, your recovery time, available insurance coverage, and the level of negligence involved all influence the final amount. We also examine future care needs, reduced earning capacity, permanent impairment, and other documented losses when applicable.
What If My Accident Involved a Tourist or Non-Resident?
New Mexico law may apply when an accident occurs in the state, even if one or more parties live elsewhere. The correct court, applicable law, and insurance process depend on where the incident occurred and the parties involved. These jurisdictional questions require an individual review rather than a universal rule.
Can I File a Claim on Behalf of a Family Member?
Sometimes, a representative or eligible family member may bring a claim, such as when an injured person can’t act independently or the case involves wrongful death. New Mexico law determines who has legal authority to file and what proof is required, so the answer depends on the injured person’s circumstances and the type of claim.
