Harmonson Law Firm: A Southern New Mexico Car Accident Lawyer that Answers the Call
Getting into a serious accident in Southern New Mexico can change the course of your life. When another driver behaves recklessly, it can damage far more than just your car. Bodily injuries are almost inevitable when you mix heavy machinery and speed with human negligence, and they can have devastating consequences on everything from your job to your personal life.
When you call the Harmonson Law Firm for help, you take the first step toward making it right and holding the responsible party or entity accountable for their wrongdoing.
Understanding the cause of the accident is essential to deciding who is liable for it, but the type of accident can also be relevant to a claim. This may affect the scope and nature of the victim’s injuries, which determine how much their claim is worth.
These are just the tip of the iceberg. If your injuries create permanent changes in your abilities or quality of life or if they require long-term treatment, your medical costs could ultimately cost you millions of dollars. At the Harmonson Law Firm, we believe that you shouldn’t be left to foot the bill when someone else makes poor decisions while behind the wheel of a car—and we are here to help you get the compensation you need.
Even if your injuries do not come to light until later on, you can still take legal action against the driver who hit you.

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.
