Sandoval County Car Accident Lawyers

The Only Sandoval County Car Accident Lawyer to Call After a Wreck

According to state crash reports, Sandoval County saw 2,138 car crashes in 2019, which made up over 4% of all wrecks in the state. Alarmingly, the number of accidents in Sandoval County has jumped significantly in the past few years, up almost 30% from 2015.

Car accidents do more than damage the vehicles involved. They can also send innocent victims to the emergency room with devastating injuries. At Caruso Law Offices, P.C., our Sandoval County car accident lawyers will spring into action to take over your claim for compensation. We know this is a stressful time, but you need the best legal representation by your side during this difficult process.

Car Crashes We Handle

Our team is experienced in all types of crashes, including some of the most complicated in New Mexico. For example, we can represent you if you were involved in:

• Drunk driving collisions
• Distracted driving crashes
• Rollovers
• Head-on collisions
• Fender benders
• Side-impact crashes (T-bones)
• Hit-and-run and uninsured motorist claims
• Multiple car pileups

New Mexico is also a pure comparative negligence state. This means that you are still eligible for at least compensation even if you contributed to your wreck. The amount received, however, is reduced by your percentage of fault. Rather than assume you have no case, contact our firm today to review the facts.

A Tough Advocate in Your Corner

The firm’s founder Mark Caruso understands what the insurance company on the other side of a case is thinking. After all, he used to work as an insurance company lawyer. Now he represents accident victims in their fight for compensation against these same insurance industry giants.

Unfortunately, many insurance companies are not eager to offer full and fair compensation following an accident. Many insurers will drag their feet investigating who caused the accident, or they unfairly try to shift responsibility for the wreck onto our client’s shoulders. Even when accepting responsibility, insurers often make low ball settlement offers which are completely unacceptable.

At Caruso Law Offices, we accept none of these tactics. Everything we do is with one goal in mind—getting our clients the compensation they deserve.

Damages in a New Mexico Car Accident Case

Damages compensate victims for their losses following a wreck. Our team pursues all avenues for compensation and seeks to make our clients whole. A victim in a Sandoval County car accident case might receive compensation for:

• Past, present, and future medical care
• Past, present, and future lost wages
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering
• Disfigurement
• Loss of consortium

In some cases, our attorneys might even secure punitive damages where a motorist has committed particularly egregious conduct, such as a hit-and-run or driving under the influence. These punitive damages punish the defendant and supplement the compensatory damages listed above.
