Types of  Car Accidents We Handle

Car accidents can happen in many ways, and the circumstances surrounding each crash are unique. MPJ Law Firm represents clients involved in a variety of accidents, including:

  • Rear-End Collisions

    Rear-end accidents are common and often result in injuries like whiplash or spinal damage. These crashes can be complex to resolve, especially when insurance companies attempt to minimize claims. We ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and property damage.


  • Head-On Collisions

    Head-on collisions often result in severe injuries, including traumatic brain injuries and fractures. Our team investigates every detail to determine fault and secure the resources you need for recovery.


  • Intersection Accidents

    Accidents at intersections, such as T-bone or side-impact collisions, often result from driver negligence. We work to hold the responsible party accountable and help you recover compensation for your losses.


  • Multi-Vehicle Crashes

    Multi-vehicle accidents can be chaotic and involve multiple liable parties. Our firm has the experience to navigate these complex cases, ensuring every responsible party is held accountable.

  • Drunk Driving Accidents

    Accidents caused by impaired drivers are preventable tragedies. We stand up for victims of drunk driving, seeking justice and punitive damages when applicable to ensure accountability.

Elements of a Car Accident Claim

At MPJ Law Firm, we guide clients through every step of their car accident claim, ensuring that each necessary element is clearly established to strengthen your case. These elements include:

  • Duty of Care: Drivers owe a responsibility to others on the road to operate their vehicles safely.
  • Breach of Duty: This occurs when a driver acts negligently, such as by speeding, texting, or driving under the influence.
  • Causation: The negligent actions directly caused the accident and your resulting injuries.
  • Damages: The accident caused measurable losses, such as medical expenses, lost income, or pain and suffering.

Our team’s experience ensures that all aspects of your claim are thoroughly addressed, maximizing your chances of success.

The Importance of Prompt Consultation

If you’ve been involved in a car accident, contacting an attorney quickly can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. Taking prompt action helps in the following ways:


  • Preserving Evidence: Photos, records, and witness statements can be critical to your case, and obtaining them early ensures they are accurate and complete.
  • Avoiding Insurance Pitfalls: Insurance adjusters may attempt to diminish or deny your claim. Having an attorney protects you from their tactics and ensures you’re treated fairly.
  • Statute of Limitations: In New Mexico, car accident claims must be filed within three years from the date of the accident. Acting quickly ensures your claim is filed within this timeframe.
