When experience matters, the more the better...

Our Law Firm has seen this time and time again, specially with the increase of trucks been driven over the roads in Texas. Nevertheless, when a loved one suddenly dies, this will be both emotionally and financially devastating. This is going to sound like a "cliché'" but in Texas, when someone dies as a result of negligence, the family members have the right to recover. This comes in the form of a law suit for Wrongful Death and or a Survival Action. During this part, experience matters...because We Get You Serious Results!!

We believe that no amount of money will ever replace the person you tragically lost!! We emphasize to our clients that we can never replace the loved one. We wish we could!!! But, obtaining the services of skilled, experienced, compassionate wrongful death lawyers is a necessary step to ensure that your rights, and those of your love ones are protected. This is a step in the right direction.

Like the song says...in the blink of an eye...this is how your life can change because of the negligence of another that results in the death of a loved one. We see this every day on our Texas Roads. Specially, those now congested by 18 wheelers. By Texas standards, this is called a Wrongful Death Action. In general, a wrongful death claim is a cause of action, which means that a law suit can be brought, when this cause arises from the victim’s wrongful death. This may be brought by the surviving beneficiaries or dependents of the decedent.

Over the years, we have found that many of these fatalities created by the trucking industry could have been prevented. In many cases, the death ends up been as a result of faulty equipment, failure to inspect equipment or pure negligence, which is called negligence per se, and this is when experience matters the most. Not all lawyers are aware of these facts.

We have seen the emotional pain, agony and strain on families as a result of losing a loved one. But, we have also seen how families can put their love ones to rest, after receiving the compensation that they deserve for their lost. Again, no amount of money will ever replace a loved one!! But, when experience matters, the more the better. Come see us, if a loved one has been a victim of one of these 18 wheeler accidents or any vehicle accident that has resulted in the death of a loved one.

Since our founding attorney is a nurse, he has built a team of compassionate people to take care of the families during the difficult times after the death of a loved one.

5 Steps You Should Take After a New Mexico Accident

With or without an attorney, here are Five Very Important Steps you should take immediately after a  car accident,  truck accident,  motorcycle accident  or any accident causing  personal injury or wrongful death.

 

By : Mark Caruso, Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Attorney (Albuquerque, NM)

 

 Step One: Don’t Discuss The Incident With the Other Party or Their Insurance Representative or Claims Adjuster

The other party, or their representative (usually an insurance company adjuster or investigator) may try to get to you to answer questions soon after the incident – oftentimes within hours. Statements that you make at the time of the accident or following the accident could be used against you as the case unfolds.

Do not talk to the other party or their representative with your attorney present!

Step Two: Get Immediate Medical Attention, Don't Wait

 If you’ve been injured, or there is a possibility that you’ve been injured, get to a doctor, emergency room or an urgent care facility immediately. Be sure that the doctor  documents your symptoms and injuries and the fact that you’ve just been involved in a vehicular accident.

Step Three: Write Things Down....Document Everything That Happens
 

It’s natural for our memories to fade with the passage of time. We’re all human. Make written notes so that you can refresh your memory about the incident. In some counties in New Mexico,  cases don’t get to court for years.   Lawyers working for insurance companies will do their best to paint you as a liar or exaggerator if you don’t have a great recollection of the incident. There is nothing wrong with keeping a diary.

Step Four: Save The Evidence
 

You want to be sure, to the extent possible, that evidence is preserved. Keep broken eyeglasses, casts from broken bones, business cards from witnesses, medical release forms from hospitals.  Keep it all.  Evidence is essential in proving your case later on! Do not lose, alter or destroy evidence!

Vehicle Accident: Repair work should not be started until detailed pictures have been taken of your vehicle (car, truck, bicycle, motorcycle, etc.)

Dangerous or Defective Product: Save the product and its parts (for example, if a bottle breaks, save the broken pieces!). Keep the box in which it came. Save the receipt!
 

Dog Bite or Animal Attack: Save the torn clothing and any other evidence of the attack. Don’t wash the clothes you were wearing.

Slip and Fall / Trip and Fall: Keep the shoes you were wearing, do not throw them out and do not keep wearing them. You will want to keep them in the condition that they were in at the time of your fall. In other words: Don’t wear, repair or throw them out until your case is settled!
 

Step Five: Take Pictures of Your Injuries
 

Take pictures of all parts of your anatomy that show signs of injury before the healing process begins. Abrasions and glass cuts must be photographed.   Date the pictures accordingly (be sure that your digital camera has the right date!). Then take daily pictures of your injuries.
 

If you have scarring, be sure to get pictures. If you’re going to have the scars surgically removed or reduced, be sure to take before and after pictures. In some situations, your lawyer may hire a professional medical photographer to take these pictures.
