Fighting for Personal Injury Victims in Los Alamos

When a person becomes seriously injured or killed due to an accident caused by another person’s negligence, he or she may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Personal injury lawsuits can also involve injuries caused by intentional harm. For example, if you were assaulted and suffered injuries, you can pursue a civil lawsuit against the perpetrator for financial compensation.

Many personal injury claims settle out of court and don’t proceed to trial. The parties can agree to a  settlement amount. The victim will receive the agreed-upon amount of compensation in exchange for agreeing not to pursue the case through a formal lawsuit. Other personal injury cases proceed to arbitration, mediation, or a trial before a judge. The damages involved in personal injury lawsuits can vary from minimal damages to claims involving millions of dollars in damages. Generally, the more severe the injuries, the higher the personal injury claim value. 

Types of Los Alamos Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Personal injury accidents can happen nearly anywhere, from retail stores to parking lots. Victims may become seriously injured in seconds when they least expect it. Under New Mexico law, victims have a legal right to pursue compensation from the party or parties whose negligence, recklessness, or intentional behavior resulted in their injuries. 

Individuals, businesses, or municipalities may be liable for the victim’s injuries. The attorneys at Hunt Law have successfully represented Los Alamos clients in a wide range of personal injury cases, including, but not limited to:

Motor Vehicle and Truck Accident Attorneys

Truck, car, pedestrian, and bicycle accidents are some of the most common causes of serious injuries in Los Alamos and throughout the country. Drivers are more distracted than ever due to texting, watching videos, and using other tech devices while driving. Driving while intoxicated is another common cause of motor vehicle accidents. Reckless and negligent drivers are financially liable for the injuries resulting from the auto accidents they cause. Hunt Law is prepared to help you pursue the full compensation you deserve after an auto accident. 

Representing Surviving Family Members in Wrongful Death Claims

The death of a loved one can be traumatizing and devastating for surviving family members. The pain can be even more significant when the victim’s death is preventable and caused by another party’s negligence. At Hunt Law, we have helped many family members obtain justice for their loved one’s death through wrongful death lawsuits.  

Pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit cannot bring your loved one back. However, doing so can help your family move forward and hold the at-fault party accountable for causing your loved one’s death. Plaintiffs in wrongful death lawsuits in New Mexico can pursue compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, lost companionship, lost income, lost family services, and more. 

Pursuing Maximum Compensation for Victims of Catastrophic Injuries in Los Alamos

Catastrophic injuries can cause victims to lose their ability to engage in the activities they once left. They can also prevent victims from earning a living and supporting their family members. When an illness or injury considerably impacts the victim and requires significant, ongoing medical treatment, it is categorized as a catastrophic injury. Healing from catastrophic injuries can take years, and some catastrophic injuries are permanent. 

The effects of catastrophic injuries can be physically and emotionally devastating. Some of the most common examples of catastrophic injuries include limb amputations, severe burns, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, and neck and back injuries. Treatment for catastrophic injuries can result in millions of dollars in medical expenses over a person’s lifetime. The attorneys at Hunt Law have extensive experience working with medical and financial experts to pursue the full amount of compensation victims deserve.

Representing Victims of Medical Malpractice

When we visit the doctor or undergo surgery, we expect our doctors to provide competent medical treatment. Patients can be injured or killed when doctors, nurses, specialists, and other medical professionals engage in medical negligence. Some of the most common examples of medical negligence include emergency room errors, birth injuries, medical device injuries, misdiagnosis, nursing home neglect, and infections. 

If you suspect or know that a medical professional’s negligence or recklessness has caused your injuries, it’s crucial that you speak to an attorney as soon as possible. Succeeding in a medical malpractice lawsuit can be challenging and requires significant evidence gathering. The sooner you speak to an attorney, the more time your attorney will have to develop a strategic case against the medical professional or hospital that caused your injuries.
