FAQs
Common Albuquerque injury Questions
What types of personal injury cases do you handle in Albuquerque?
We handle car accidents, truck wrecks, motorcycle crashes, workplace injuries, premises liability, product liability, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death claims. If you’ve been hurt in Albuquerque because of someone else’s negligence, our team can help.
How does New Mexico's comparative negligence law affect my Albuquerque case?
New Mexico follows a pure comparative negligence rule, which means you can recover compensation no matter what percentage of fault is assigned to you. Your award will be reduced by your share of fault, but unlike Texas, there is no threshold that bars you from filing a claim.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Albuquerque?
The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in New Mexico is three years from the date of the accident. While that gives you more time than some other states, important evidence can still disappear quickly, so contacting an attorney sooner is always better.
Do I need to travel to your office to start my case?
No. We offer free consultations by phone and virtually, so you can get started from the comfort of your home. If an in-person meeting is needed, our team can arrange that as well.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Albuquerque?
Nothing upfront. Cesar Ornelas Law handles all Albuquerque personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You owe us nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
