Deadly Trucking Accidents in New Mexico
Large commercial vehicles are capable of inflicting life-threatening injuries in the event of a collision. There are hundreds of thousands of crashes involving semi-trucks reported annually in the United States. In 2018, there were 4,136 people killed in trucking accidents nationwide. Of those killed in semi-truck crashes that year, 16% were the occupants of a big rig. Deadly trucking accidents have increased by nearly 51% since 2009.
New Mexico wrongful death lawsuits are intended to compensate surviving family members when the negligent actions of another party cause the death of a loved one. Just because the victim died, that does not mean that the at-fault party should be off the hook. The defendant must instead pay compensation to the family members of the deceased after a deadly New Mexico truck accident. This can only be accomplished by partnering with a law firm with years of experience helping victims pursue wrongful death claims.
Bringing a lawsuit is probably the last thing on your mind after losing a family member, but you do not have to pursue a claim on your own. Will Ferguson & Associates understands that no amount of compensation will bring back a loved one. Our legal team will fight to make sure that you recover the compensation you deserve after losing a loved one.
