Deadly Rollover Accidents in Albuquerque

A rollover is a particularly lethal type of crash. Large vehicles with a high center of gravity, such as SUVs or pickup trucks, are more likely to be involved in rollover accidents. Rollovers were only involved in an estimated 2.1% of reported traffic accidents in 2010. However, nearly 35% of fatal passenger-vehicle crashes that year involved overturned vehicles, contributing to 7,600 fatalities. 

When the negligence of another person results in the loss of a loved one, it is natural that surviving family members would want to seek justice. A New Mexico wrongful death lawsuit could give them the financial compensation needed to cover funeral expenses and burial costs, medical expenses, mental suffering, and other damages related to a deadly accident. New Mexico wrongful death claims involve many complicated laws, including strict statutes of limitations and rules regarding who can file, so it helps to have the help of a qualified legal team on your side. 

When you have lost a loved one in an accident that should never have happened, you need to speak with an Albuquerque fatal accident lawyer immediately to discuss your options for compensation.
