Do I Need an Attorney?
Most people will have a great deal of difficulty navigating the court system’s filing requirements and deadlines. Additionally, an attorney will know all the available channels of compensation open in a truck accident claim. Simply put, an Interstate 25 truck accident claim will likely require more time, energy, and money than an injured driver can muster after a serious accident.
An attorney can help a client handle his or her legal issues while the client focuses on recovery. This means building a strong case, uncovering every available avenue of compensation, contacting expert witnesses to weigh in on the case in a professional capacity, and handling correspondence with insurance companies.
Elements of an Interstate 25 Truck Accident Claim
The first step in securing compensation for damages sustained in an Interstate 25 truck accident in New Mexico is determining the at-fault party. In a truck accident case, it is possible for a plaintiff to face one or multiple defendants, and the jury will assign fault percentages based on the degree of liability in the case of the latter. Many possible defendants could be responsible in a truck accident claim.
- A negligent truck driver
- A trucking company that failed to use proper hiring, employee vetting, or training practices
- Maintenance personnel who performed inadequate vehicle maintenance
- A product manufacturer that released a dangerous or defective product involved in a truck accident
- The government agency responsible for care and maintenance of Interstate 25, the New Mexico Department of Transportation
- A negligent third party such as another driver who caused a truck accident that injured the plaintiff
Depending on the exact circumstances in a truck accident claim, the jury may decide that one or more parties are liable for the plaintiff’s damages. After identifying the liable party or parties in an Interstate 25 truck accident claim, the plaintiff’s attorney must then prove the at-fault party was negligent or acted with willful, intentional disregard for the safety of others and directly caused the plaintiff’s claimed damages. The plaintiff’s attorney will also need to provide proof of the extent of those claimed damages and prove they resulted from the defendant’s negligence and not some other cause.
