Albuquerque Car Crash Injury Attorneys
Americans spend over 300 hours a year in cars, according to the American Automobile Association. Consider how many years you’ve been driving, and those hours quickly add up to months or years. Given so much time on the road, the likelihood of going a lifetime without getting in a car accident is pretty slim.
Unfortunately, car accidents happen every minute of every hour of every day in this country. On average, there are around 17,000 accidents daily on American roads and highways, many of which happen in Texas and New Mexico. Fortunately, most of these accidents are relatively minor; fender-benders that may require some bodywork on the car and cause some inconvenience but nothing more. However, many car accidents result in damage and losses that are anything but minor, turning lives upside-down, and causing severe life-changing injuries or deaths.
While all car accident injuries and deaths are tragic, those caused by the negligence, recklessness, or wrongful acts of other drivers are even more so. For example, the texting driver, the trucker who stayed behind the wheel longer than the law allows, the person who had one too many drinks before driving home – all these people needlessly ruin the lives of others, leaving victims and their families searching for answers and struggling to move forward after their lives have been changed forever.

Causes and Types of Car Accidents
We all know why car accidents happen, as we witness irresponsible driving every time we get behind the wheel. From drivers failing to stop at lights, staring at their phones, speeding 30 miles over the limit, to those under the influence of alcohol or drugs, reckless or aggressive driving causes pain and loss daily.
Some crashes involve only one vehicle, like spinning out and hitting an object or going off the road. However, single-car accidents can also be caused by another driver’s negligence, such as swerving or making a sudden lane change that forces a driver to lose control.
Typically, most car accidents involve multiple drivers and vehicles. At Glasheen, Valles & Inderman Injury Lawyers, our Albuquerque car crash injury lawyers represent victims involved in every type of car crash, including:
-
- Drunk Driving and DUI Car Accidents
- Head-on Collisions
- Hit and Run Accidents
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Rear-end Collisions
- Ride-share Accidents

More Than Just a Lawsuit
Your claim’s strength, as well as your attorney’s reputation and skill, impacts your financial recovery. If the insurance company respects your attorney and knows they can secure a large verdict, they are more likely to settle.
Types of Car Accident Injuries
Regardless of the cause, auto accidents can result in a wide range of catastrophic injuries, many of which permanently limit a person’s mobility, ability to earn a living, and capacity to enjoy life as they once did.
Some of the most frequent injuries arising from car accidents include:
-
- Head and neck injuries
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Burns
- Broken bones
- Chest injuries
- Disfigurement
- Loss of limbs
Unfortunately, many car accidents take the lives of drivers and passengers. The sudden, needless loss of a loved one causes immense pain and injury. Families lose a breadwinner, a child, or a lifetime of companionship. This tragedy happens in an instant.
These families need support, justice, and compensation for their losses, just like injury victims. Therefore, we fight tirelessly to get justice, standing by their sides and helping them through this difficult time.
Insurers Can Add Insult to Your Injuries.
In most car accident cases, the other driver’s insurance company will handle the claim on their insured driver’s behalf. Insurance companies spend millions on TV ads telling you they are “on your side,” are a “good neighbor,” or that you’ll “be in good hands” with them. However, when negotiating with car insurers after an accident, none of this is true.
Car insurance companies are in the business of making money. Indeed, every penny they pay out in claims reduces the millions of dollars in profits they earn from premiums. Their goal with every claim is to pay nothing. Short of that, they will try to settle claims as quickly and cheaply as possible. They will try every possible approach to either deny your claim outright or get you to accept the lowest possible sum of money.
Insurers know injury victims need money as soon as possible. Additionally, they also know claimants may not fully understand their rights. They manipulate victims, convincing them their claim is invalid or worth pennies. In some instances, they may ask you to give them a statement or get you to make an admission which could hurt any auto accident injury suit you would file later. Finally, they’ll question the legitimacy or severity of your injuries or try to blame them on prior incidents or preexisting conditions.
Ultimately, they exploit your vulnerabilities to shortchange you and get you to accept a settlement far below what you deserve.
