Wrongful Death Lawyer

What to Do if You Suspect Wrongful Death

The death of a loved one is a devastating experience, especially when you suspect negligence or wrongful actions played a role. It's a time of profound grief and confusion, and trying to figure out what steps to take can feel overwhelming.

Here's what we recommend:

Prioritize your well-being: Take the time you need to grieve and care for yourself and your family. Don't rush into any decisions.
Gather information: If possible, start collecting any relevant information related to the incident, such as accident reports, medical records, and contact information for any witnesses.
Contact an attorney: Reach out to an experienced wrongful death attorney as soon as possible. Time is of the essence, as there are strict deadlines for filing a claim in New Mexico. A lawyer can help you understand your rights, investigate the circumstances of the death, and determine the best course of action.

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

How does New Mexico's fault system impact my wrongful death claim?

New Mexico is a "pure comparative negligence" state. This means that even if your loved one was partially at fault in the incident, you can still recover damages, but the amount will be reduced based on their percentage of fault.
Are there any specific resources available in Las Cruces for families dealing with wrongful death?

Yes, Las Cruces offers support resources like grief counseling services through La Piñon Sexual Assault Recovery Services and support groups organized by Mesilla Valley Hospice.
What if the at-fault party was employed by the City of Las Cruces or Doña Ana County?

Claims against government entities have special notice requirements and shorter deadlines. It's crucial to contact an attorney immediately.
