Deadly Pedestrian Accidents in Albuquerque

There is little protecting a pedestrian from the full impact of a motor vehicle accident. Unlike those traveling in passenger cars, a pedestrian will suffer the full impact of a crash, often leaving them with life-threatening injuries. Statistics reveal that pedestrians have a 1.5 times greater chance of being killed in a traffic accident, and New Mexico had the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities in the nation in 2017. 

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.
