Deadly Intersection Accidents in Albuquerque

Even with stop signs and traffic signals, catastrophic collisions take place daily at intersections across New Mexico. These crashes are some of the most deadly, and nearly 20% of fatal accidents occur at roadway crossings. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 2,967 fatalities caused by drivers running stop signs reported annually from 1997 to 2004. 

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 car crash. 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.  Call us today at (505) 243-5566 to discuss your case with a New Mexico wrongful death attorney.
