Santa Fe’s Pedestrian Hazards
Santa Fe’s beautiful but historic layout can create hazards for pedestrians. Many areas lack clear pathways or well-marked crosswalks, increasing the risk of accidents. Our firm understands the city's layout, including high-traffic areas and intersections known for incidents. We apply this local knowledge when building your case, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
In addition, Santa Fe’s many community events and festivals mean increased foot traffic and congestion, which can lead to higher accident risks. Our attorneys understand how these dynamics play into personal injury claims and use this insight to strengthen your case strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Santa Fe?
First, seek immediate medical care—even if injuries seem minor. Next, document the scene by taking photos and gathering contact information from witnesses. Report the accident to the authorities. Then, consult a Santa Fe pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible. Quick action helps preserve critical evidence.
What Compensation Can I Recover?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and sometimes punitive damages. At Simon Perdue Law, we’ll evaluate all your damages and fight to recover the maximum compensation available under New Mexico law.
Can I Still Recover Compensation If I Was Partially at Fault?
Yes. New Mexico follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover damages if you are not 100% at fault. We’ll work to minimize any blame attributed to you.
How Is Liability Determined in a Pedestrian Accident?
Liability is assessed based on evidence such as traffic laws, eyewitness accounts, and expert testimonies. Even if you were partly at fault, New Mexico's comparative negligence laws might allow you to recover damages. Consulting with Simon Perdue Law will help clarify these aspects.
We conduct thorough investigations, often collaborating with accident reconstruction experts to piece together the events leading up to the accident. This meticulous approach clarifies liability and provides a compelling narrative to support your claim before a jury or during settlement negotiations.
How Long Do I Have to File a Claim After a Pedestrian Accident?
In New Mexico, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including pedestrian accidents, is generally three years. It's essential to consult with a lawyer sooner to preserve valuable evidence and strengthen your case.
Delaying can complicate the process as crucial evidence might be lost, and witness memories fade over time. Acting quickly fortifies your legal standing and accelerates the pathway to recovery and closure. Let Simon Perdue be your guide through this timely process.
