Albuquerque Personal Injury Lawyers
When an unexpected injury happens, you are suddenly faced with medical bills, lost wages and the stress of dealing with insurance companies. At Strong Law Attorneys, our Albuquerque personal injury lawyers are committed to helping injured New Mexicans get the money they need to rebuild their lives.
We have deep roots in the state and access to national‑level resources, which allows us to go toe‑to‑toe with big insurance companies while still providing the personal attention you deserve.
Why this matters: In recent years New Mexico has been one of the most dangerous states to drive in, recording hundreds of traffic fatalities each year. Distracted driving, speeding and drunk driving remain major factors in these crashes, and certain roads — like Central Avenue in Albuquerque — are particularly dangerous.
A 2023 update on New Mexico traffic statistics noted that there were more than 400 traffic deaths statewide in 2023 and highlighted local efforts to reduce these numbers. The human toll of these crashes extends beyond physical injuries to include emotional trauma and financial hardship. Our job is to help you recover physically and financially.
Your first consultation is free.
We work on a contingency basis, which means you pay nothing up front and our fee comes out of the recovery. If you’ve been hurt in an accident in Albuquerque, call us at 206‑737‑7108 or contact us online to schedule a free case evaluation.

- Personal attention. You will work directly with an attorney who keeps you updated and answers your questions. We limit the number of cases we handle so we can devote ample time and resources to each client.
- Local knowledge. Our Albuquerque office understands New Mexico’s courts, juries and insurance companies. We know how to gather evidence quickly and preserve critical footage from local traffic cameras and businesses.
- Comprehensive support. We can help arrange medical care, negotiate with insurers and connect you with resources to aid in your recovery.
Before you accept a quick settlement or try to handle a claim on your own, talk to us. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts; having experienced legal counsel levels the playing field.
What to Do After a Personal Injury in Albuquerque
The steps you take immediately after an accident can have a big impact on your health and on the success of your personal injury claim. Follow these guidelines:
- Seek medical attention. Your health is the top priority. Even if you feel fine, see a doctor to identify hidden injuries and start a treatment plan.
- Document the scene. Take photographs of the accident scene, your injuries and any property damage. Obtain contact information from witnesses and, if possible, file a police report.
- Do not admit fault. Avoid apologizing or speculating about what happened. Anything you say may be used against you later.
- Notify your insurance company. Report the incident promptly, but do not provide a recorded statement until you have spoken with a lawyer.
- Call our team. The sooner you call an attorney, the sooner we can start preserving evidence and protecting your rights.
Our lawyers will investigate the accident, obtain police reports and medical records, interview witnesses and build a strong case while you focus on healing.

“Unbelievable work!”
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”

Damages Available in a Personal Injury Claim
Under New Mexico law, victims of negligence are entitled to seek compensation for both economic and non‑economic losses.
Our team will work with medical and financial experts to quantify your losses and pursue every dollar you deserve. Damages may include:
Economic damages
- Medical expenses: past and future hospital bills, surgeries, physical therapy, medications and assistive devices.
- Lost income: wages or earnings lost while you recover, plus loss of future earning capacity if your injury affects your ability to work.
- Property damage: repairs or replacement of damaged vehicles or personal property.
- Funeral and burial costs: expenses incurred in wrongful death cases.
- Domestic services: reimbursement for household services you can no longer perform.
Non‑economic damages
- Pain and suffering: physical pain, emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Loss of companionship: harm to relationships with a spouse or family members.
- Disfigurement or disability: compensation for permanent scars, disabilities or loss of bodily function.
- Mental anguish: anxiety, depression, post‑traumatic stress disorder and other psychological harm.
In rare cases, punitive damages may be available to punish especially reckless or intentional conduct.
We will advise you if your case qualifies.
Statute of Limitations and Proving Negligence
New Mexico law generally gives you three years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your claim.
The statute of limitations may be extended in some circumstances, such as when injuries are discovered later or when the victim is a minor. However, exceptions are narrow and it is always better to act quickly. You can read the statute yourself in New Mexico Statutes Section 37‑1‑8.
Because evidence can disappear and witnesses’ memories fade, we recommend contacting an attorney as soon as possible after an accident.
Our team will make sure your lawsuit is filed on time and that all procedural requirements are met.
How We Prove Negligence and Maximize Your Compensation
To win a personal injury case, your lawyer must show that the defendant owed you a duty of care, breached that duty and directly caused your injuries and damages. We accomplish this by:
- Investigating the accident. We gather police reports, medical records, surveillance footage, vehicle data and any available photos or video. When necessary, we partner with accident reconstruction experts.
- Interviewing witnesses. We take statements from people who saw the accident occur and from those familiar with the circumstances that caused it.
- Working with experts. Medical professionals, economists and industry experts help us establish the full extent of your injuries and future losses.
- Building a persuasive narrative. Jurors need to understand how the defendant’s choices caused your injuries. We craft compelling presentations using timelines, diagrams and expert testimony.
- Negotiating and litigating. Our reputation as trial lawyers often leads to better settlement offers. If the insurance company refuses to be reasonable, we are ready to take your case to court.
Many factors influence the amount of compensation you may recover, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, the degree of pain and suffering and whether you share any fault under New Mexico’s comparative negligence rule.
We will analyze all these factors and pursue the maximum compensation possible.
Frequently Asked Questions and Next Steps
How much does it cost to hire an Albuquerque personal injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing up front and we only collect a fee if we obtain a settlement or verdict in your favor.
Our fee is a percentage of the amount we recover for you. Initial consultations are always free.
What if I am partially at fault for the accident?
New Mexico follows a comparative negligence rule.
You can still recover damages even if you were partly to blame, but your award will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.
An attorney can help protect you from unfair blame.
How long will my case take?
The timeline depends on the complexity of the case, the severity of your injuries and whether the insurance company agrees to a fair settlement.
Many cases settle in a matter of months, but some go to trial and take longer.
Our attorneys will keep you informed every step of the way.
Who can be held liable in a personal injury claim?
Liability depends on the facts.
Potential defendants include negligent drivers, trucking companies, property owners, product manufacturers and anyone else whose actions contributed to your injury.
We investigate thoroughly to identify all possible sources of compensation.
What if a loved one dies from their injuries?
Families may pursue a wrongful death claim.
While no amount of money can replace a loved one, a lawsuit can provide financial security and hold negligent parties accountable.
