What Is Negligence?

In New Mexico, most car accident cases hinge on the concept of negligence.

Negligence essentially means someone failed to act with reasonable care, and that failure caused harm to another person.

Here's how negligence plays out on the road:

Duty of care: Every driver must operate their vehicle safely and responsibly. This includes following traffic laws, paying attention to their surroundings, and maintaining their vehicle.
Breach of duty: When a driver breaks a traffic law, drives recklessly, or is otherwise careless, they breach their duty of care.
Causation: To establish negligence, it must be clear that the driver's breach of duty directly caused the accident and your injuries.
Damages: If negligence is proven, the at-fault driver can be held liable for damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Proving negligence can be complex, but Harmonson Law Firm can help. We can investigate the accident, gather evidence, such as police reports and witness statements, and consult with accident reconstruction experts if necessary.

Our goal is to build a strong case that demonstrates the other driver's negligence and your right to compensation.

From Injury to Recovery FAQ's to Help Start Your Journey

What should I do if I was involved in an auto accident?

Immediately after an accident, stop, don’t leave the scene and make sure everyone is okay. If there are injuries, the first call you should make is to 911. You should always call the police in the event of an accident, and cooperate and be respectful to the police and the other driver. Gather as much information as you can, including collecting the other driver’s contact information, taking photos of the vehicles and scene and collecting the contact information of any witnesses.
What if the other driver, who caused the accident has no insurance?

Your own insurance contains uninsured motorist protection and applies if the at-fault driver has no liability insurance. In Texas, uninsured motorist protection is mandatory unless you reject that coverage in writing. Uninsured motorist coverage also applies if the accident is a hit and run. In Texas, there must be contact with the uninsured vehicle for the uninsured motorist protection to apply.
What information do I need to have to file a claim?

To file a claim against the at fault driver, it is best to have a copy of the accident report, photos of the vehicles involved, the accident scene and any of your visible injuries, your own automobile insurance information, and a list of all of the medical providers who have treated you for your injuries. You are not required to give the other driver’s insurance a medical authorization or agree to a recorded statement.
What types of compensation can I recover after an auto accident?

These are the elements of damages that the negligent driver is required to pay if he or she causes an accident: all reasonable medical bills (past and future), lost wages and the lost ability to earn wages in the future, loss of household services, pain and suffering, mental anguish, permanent impairment and disfigurement. A reasonable settlement offer should include all of your medical bills, lost wages and a significant sum for pain and suffering and your other harms and losses.
How is fault proven in a truck accident case?

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations govern big commercial trucks like 18-Wheelers. These laws are designed to protect the motoring public from negligent truck drivers. These federal safety laws are also designed to ensure that trucking companies who hire negligent drivers are also accountable when their drivers ignore the safety rules of the road.
