Top-Shelf Representation for Serious Injuries

Some car accidents are minor, leaving only a scratch on the bumper of the cars involved. However, many car accidents cause devastating personal injuries, such as:

• Broken bones
• Cuts or lacerations
• Strains or sprains
• Contusions
• Nerve damage
• Joint injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Amputations
• Burn injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis

These injuries can result in tens of thousands of dollars of medical care—sometimes much more. A person who is permanently injured, for example, might need multiple surgeries and even at-home health for the remainder of his life. All this care can total six or seven figures.

Fighting for Maximum Compensation

In addition to pricey medical care, many people cannot work due to pain and rehabilitation. Just as their expenses bloom, their income crashes. Many of our clients are fearful of losing their homes and other possessions.

We can help. Our Las Cruces car accident attorneys have sought compensation for the following losses:

• All medical-care related expenses, including the costs of surgery, doctor visits, rehabilitation, and prescription drugs
• Lost income and lost wages
• All property damaged in the accident
• Pain and suffering
• Disfigurement and/or impairment

If a family member dies in a crash, we can seek compensation in a wrongful death lawsuit. This type of claim is very complicated, so hiring seasoned legal help is essential.

Our Las Cruces Car Accident Attorneys

Car accident claims are not as straightforward as many people expect. They anticipate filling out some paperwork and then receiving a check in the mail after waiting a few weeks. Unfortunately, many insurance companies refuse to play fair. They make lowball offers or minimize our client’s pain and suffering.

We should know. Our founder, Mark Caruso, is a former insurance defense attorney who used to sit on the other side of the table during settlement negotiations. Now, he uses his skills and knowledge to fight for the maximum compensation for our clients.

Never accept a settlement offer without first meeting with a lawyer. One of our Las Cruces car accident lawyers can discuss your memories of the accident and analyze the police report. We can also review any settlement offer or begin drafting an offer if none has been proffered.

Most cases settle. However, sometimes disputes arise over who bears the majority of fault for the wreck. Our legal team is fully prepared to file a lawsuit in court and present your case to a judge or jury for favorable compensation for your claim.
