What should I do If I am injured in an accident?

In the event of any type of accident, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Not getting medical care could put you at risk for serious complications, and could also jeopardize your rights in an accident claim. The National Safety Council (NSC), close to 40 million people in the United States suffer accidental injuries each year, which can end up resulting in lasting disabilities. Among the most common causes include:

• Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian and bicyclist accidents
• Slips, falls, and other premises liability accidents
• Dog bites and attacks
• Product liability cases
• Construction and workplace accidents

If you suffer injuries due to any of the above, make sure an accident report is filed. You may need to contact local law enforcement, the property owner or manager, or your employer or supervisor. This report should detail information about the accident, how it occurred, and any witnesses at the scene.

Accidents’ are often the result of reckless and negligent conduct on the part of others.

While the above are commonly referred to as ‘accidents’, they are often the result of reckless and negligent conduct on the part of others. Examples of negligence in accident cases include:

• In motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents: Reckless driving behaviors, such as speeding, running stop signs, or being under the influence
• In premises liability or slip and fall cases: Improper maintenance, such as uneven walkways and poor lighting, or failure to warn others of problems, such as wet floors
• In cases of animal bites and attacks: Allowing dogs to run loose or failing to secure them when others visit the home
• In product liability cases: Manufacturing defects or improper labeling
• In work-related accidents: Dangerous job conditions and a lack of proper safety precautions

Under New Mexico’s contributory negligence laws, you may still be entitled to compensation even if your own actions were partially to blame for the accident occurring.
