Common carlsbad injury Questions

What types of accidents are most common in Carlsbad?

 Oil field accidents, truck wrecks on Highway 285, workplace injuries, and car accidents are among the most frequent cases we see from the Carlsbad area. The heavy industrial activity and commercial traffic in southeastern New Mexico create conditions that lead to serious injuries regularly.

Yes. If your injury was caused by negligence from an employer, contractor, or equipment manufacturer, you may have a personal injury claim beyond workers’ compensation. Our Carlsbad attorneys will review your case and identify every option available to you.

New Mexico gives you three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. That said, evidence in oil field and trucking cases can disappear fast, so reaching out to an attorney early is always the best move.

That doesn’t affect your right to file. Many companies operating in the Carlsbad area are headquartered in other states. Our attorneys have the experience and resources to take on large out-of-state corporations and hold them accountable for your injuries.

Nothing upfront. Cesar Ornelas Law handles all Carlsbad cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win your case.
