Do I Have a Case?
In the wake of an injury, you might find yourself wondering whether your circumstances warrant a personal injury lawsuit. Here in New Mexico, the success of such litigation hinges on proving that another party's negligence or wrongful action led to your harm.
This encompasses demonstrating that the responsible entity had a duty to:
- Act with reasonable care
- Breached that duty
- The breach caused your injuries
- You sustained injuries as a result
Evaluating the merits of your personal injury claim is an intricate process. To build a robust case, we meticulously gather evidence, such as accident reports, witness statements, and medical records. Documentation of your financial losses, like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages, including pain and suffering, is critical, as well. Our legal team can work relentlessly to assemble a comprehensive case that aligns with New Mexico's legal standards, aiming to connect the dots between each essential element of negligence in your case.

Common Injuries in Personal Injury Cases
To help you better understand the nature of these cases, we've outlined some of the most common injuries we see in each category.
In our experience at Simon Perdue, we have encountered a variety of personal injury cases, each with its own unique set of circumstances and injuries. While these injuries are some of the most common we see, it's important to remember that every case is unique. The specifics of an accident, an individual's prior health status, and many other factors can influence the extent and nature of the injuries sustained. As your legal team, it's our role to thoroughly investigate and understand these factors as we work towards achieving the best possible outcome for you.
