Past Cases

Rio Rancho Car Accident

Our Rio Rancho client was driving on Southern Boulevard when she was struck by a careless driver who pulled from a side street and failed to yield.  Our client received a serious neck injury with a herniated disk.  Her doctor recommended neck surgery and this Rio Rancho car accident case settled before lawsuit was filed.    

Albuquerque Car Accident

Our Albuquerque client was rear ended at very high speed by a commercial truck.  His SUV was demolished from the rear-end collision.  The Albuquerque client sustained a traumatic brain injury that required brain surgery to evacuate bleeding on the brain from a subdural hematoma.  This Albuquerque personal injury case settled before trial.

New Mexico Truck Accident

A semi-truck changed lanes on I-40 near Gallup, New Mexico and forced a car into the median.  Our 14-year-old client had a spinal cord injury that resulted in permanent paralysis.  Another client, an 11-year-old girl, received fatal injuries and died at the scene.  This personal injury and wrongful death lawsuit against the trucking company and the New Mexico Department of Transportation settled before trial.

New Mexico Wrongful Death - SUV rollover

Our client’s SUV rolled over on an Oklahoma highway and our 15-year-old client from Artesia, New Mexico died in the rollover car accident.  The car rolled over due to defective vehicle design by the auto manufacturer.   This wrongful death lawsuit against the auto manufacturer was settled by the manufacture before trial.

New Mexico Motorcycle accident

Our client, while riding his motorcycle on Main Street in Deming, New Mexico, was hit by a UPS truck.  Our client sustained multiple injuries including a shattered leg that required multiple surgeries and resulted in permanent occupational disability. We reached a successful settlement of this motorcycle accident case with UPS before trial.

Motorcycle accident in Taos

Our client was riding his motorcycle near Taos, New Mexico when a pickup truck turned left in front of him.  This motorcycle accident caused a knee injury and serious fractures to the foot and heel resulting in multiple surgeries and permanent disability.

Albuquerque Medical Malpractice

An Albuquerque doctor failed to properly read a fetal monitoring record which showed the unborn baby was in fetal distress.  As a result, the baby died because an emergency c-section was not done.  The doctor settled this medical malpractice and wrongful death lawsuit before trial.

Highway rock fall

A football-sized rock fell from a steep hillside by a New Mexico roadway between Espanola and Taos, and smashed through the windshield striking my Rio Rancho client in the head causing severe brain damage.  The evidence showed there had been many prior accidents, and even deaths, caused by rock falls at this exact location in the past.  This personal injury lawsuit against the New Mexico Highway Department for negligent maintenance of the roadway area was settled for our Rio Rancho client before trial.

Albuquerque Bicycle Accident 

An Albuquerque man was riding his bicycle on Constitution Road in Albuquerque when a pickup truck backed out of a driveway causing a collision and serious injuries to the bicyclist.  The injuries included a fractured wrist and a head injury.  This case resulted in a successful arbitration verdict for the bicyclist.

Defective playground swing

Our Carlsbad, New Mexico client was on a city playground swing when the defective “S” hook on the chain broke causing our client to slam onto ground and fracture his pelvis.  He ended up with permanent injury to nerves running near the pelvis which resulted in occupational disability.  This personal injury case was settled after lawsuit was filed.

Fall from scaffolding

While working on scaffolding, our Farmington, New Mexico client fell off the scaffold due to a defect in the scaffold surface.  He received injuries to his back and knee that resulted in surgery and significant time off work. This personal injury case settled before trial.
