New Mexico Auto Injury Lawyer
No one expects to be involved in a car accident. When it happens, you could be facing serious injuries and have many questions about your future.
- Will you be able to fully recover? How long will it take?
- How will your medical bills get paid?
- What if you can't return to work soon ... or ever?
An experienced attorney can help you deal with your medical and financial concerns after a car crash.
I am personal injury attorney Brady Pofahl. At my Albuquerque law office I help car accident victims from across New Mexico get the answers they need and the financial compensation they deserve after a car accident and especially those with catastrophic injuries. I have the experience you need to get results from your auto accident insurance claim. As a former insurance defense lawyer, I understand the games insurers play with your well-being. I have lived in New Mexico since I was a child and I work hard to make sure my clients aren't the victims of unfair insurance company practices.

People want to be helpful and to work cooperatively with their insurance company after an accident, but there are two important things to know if you've been involved in a car accident:
- Insurance companies will use any recorded statements you make against you so talk to a lawyer first, before you make any statements.
- Obtain the medical care as soon as possible. The longer you wait to get treatment, the more likely it is that you will aggravate your injuries and the easier it is for the insurance company to argue that your injuries were not caused by the accident.
Insurance adjusters are trained to deal with people who are not represented by a lawyer. In fact, they often try to steer victims away from contacting a lawyer by convincing them that the insurance companies will act in their best interest or they will get more money if they don't hire a lawyer.
Just remember, it's the claims adjuster's job to reduce the amount that the insurance company has to pay after a car accident, not to maximize what you get on your injury claim. That's the job of your attorney, the person who has your best interests at heart and your future in mind. Who will you have fighting on your side? Contact me today. I advise my clients of their rights, protect their interests and make sure they get what they are entitled to under the law.
Dealing With Insurance Companies on Car Accident Claims
As a former insurance defense lawyer, I understand exactly how to pursue your car accident claim, whether it was a rollover accident, a rear-end collision or a crash involving a truck or commercial vehicle. If the other driver didn't have insurance, I will review your policy to see if you have uninsured motorist coverage so we can bring a claim against your own insurance company.
I will assist you with every aspect of your car accident claim and can advise you on every step of the process, including:
- Getting medical care
- Identifying the negligent party
- Identifying witnesses
- Securing police and medical reports
- Gathering and analyzing evidence
- Negotiating a settlement
- Representing you at trial
I handle all cases on a contingency fee, so you will not pay any fees until I settle your case or win at trial.
