What Cases of Personal Injury We Cover

The most common areas of personal injury that the attorneys at King Law Firm can help you with include the following:

• Car Accidents: Car accidents take place every day across the state of New Mexico for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons tend to include a negligent driver operating their vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, a reckless driver who is speeding, tailgating, demonstrating behaviors of aggression, or violating traffic laws, driving distracted such as texting while driving, or poor road maintenance.

The most common injuries seen in Albuquerque car accidents can include broken bones or fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations or the loss of a limb, blood loss, damage to internal organs, nerve damage, injuries to the joints, head, shoulders, back, or neck, whiplash, eye injuries, facial trauma, burns, scarring, and disfigurement.

• Commercial/Trucking Accidents: Commercial trucks are an integral part of the economy of New Mexico and the United States. However, due to their sheer size and weight, these vehicles can pose a serious risk to any individual on the roadway. When an accident occurs with these vehicles, horrific injuries can occur, including broken bones, trauma to the brain, concussions, paralysis, whiplash, spinal cord damage, and internal bleeding.

The most common causes of commercial trucking accidents include drivers operating their vehicles under the influence of drugs or alcohol; engaging in distracted driving such as texting, eating, or drinking while behind the wheel; speeding; driving while fatigued; transporting improperly loaded or unsecured cargo; or failing to conduct necessary safety tests and vehicle inspections.

• Slip and Fall: When you lawfully enter the property owned and operated by another individual or entity, that party has a duty to ensure you are kept safe. When this duty is breached, horrific accidents can occur. One of the most common is known as a slip and fall accident and can occur due to broken or crumbling pavement, wet or slick floors, uneven surfaces, crumbling stairs, inadequate guardrails, or poor lighting.

The most common injuries seen in slip and fall accidents include broken bones, fractures, muscle strains or sprains, cuts, bruises, and lacerations, traumatic brain injuries, damage to the spinal cord, concussions, and paralysis.

• Negligence: Negligence can arise in various situations. Individuals living in nursing homes may experience negligence, leading to injuries, or patients seeking medical attention may suffer harm as a result of medical malpractice. If you have suffered injuries from an act of negligence, you have the right to file a personal injury claim in New Mexico.
• Victims of Sexual Assault: If you have a child who has been molested or sexually assaulted, the attorneys at King Law Firm have the experience required to guide you in filing a claim against any negligent school or church where the incident has occurred. Allow us to come alongside you at this difficult time and seek justice and compensation.
• Wrongful Death: Cases of wrongful death are horrific, and those left behind deserve to recover the financial damages they have sustained as the result of their loved one’s passing. If you have lost a family member due to the negligence, recklessness, or even the intentional wrongdoing of another, you can file a wrongful death claim in New Mexico.

Compensation Available in Personal Injury Cases

There are several forms of compensation that can become available in a personal injury case, depending on the nature of the case and the severity of the injuries involved in the accident. The most common forms of damages include the following:

• Economic Damages: These damages can be assigned a monetary value and include medical costs, funeral and burial expenses, lost wages, the inability to return to work and earn a future wage, and future anticipated medical costs.
• Non-Economic Damages: These damages are typically more difficult to quantify in monetary terms and may include pain and suffering, emotional distress, mental anguish, loss of companionship, loss of consortium, and loss of care.
• Punitive damages: Though these are rarely awarded, punitive damages can come into play if the courts deem that the liable party has acted in a particularly egregious way or with gross negligence.
