Hobbs & Carlsbad Work Injury Accident Attorney

Fierce Legal Representation for Injured Workers & Employees

When workplace injuries happen, the repercussions often extend beyond medical bills and lost wages. Many injured workers in Hobbs and Carlsbad are unsure about their legal rights, hesitant to take action against powerful companies, or simply don’t know where to begin. This is where our legal team can step in and make a difference.

Here’s how we can help injured workers in Carlsbad and Hobbs:

• Investigating the accident. We conduct a thorough analysis of the incident to determine what happened, who was at fault, and what safety regulations may have been violated. This includes gathering witness statements, reviewing workplace policies, and consulting with experts to strengthen your case.
• Dealing with insurance companies. Insurance companies often prioritize minimizing their payouts rather than fairly compensating you. We’ll take on the complex and often frustrating conversations with insurers to ensure they don’t undervalue your claim or pressure you into accepting a low settlement.
• Filing and managing paperwork. Legal claims involve a mountain of paperwork. Our team will handle every detail, ensuring that all documents are accurate, complete, and submitted on time to avoid potential issues with your claim.
• Negotiating settlements. Companies and their insurers have substantial legal resources to defend against claims. We level the playing field by negotiating aggressively on your behalf, working to secure the maximum compensation you’re entitled to for medical expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.
• Taking cases to court. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. Our attorney is an experienced trial lawyer who will fight tirelessly to advocate for your rights in front of a judge and jury.

We understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate the legal system, especially when you’re going up against well-funded employers and insurance companies. Our team is dedicated to standing by your side. Let us help you secure the justice and compensation you deserve, no matter how difficult or intimidating the process may seem.

What You Can Expect After Filing a Carlsbad & Hobbs Workplace Injury Claim

The legal process for workplace injury claims in New Mexico may feel unfamiliar at first. Here’s what you can expect once you decide to move forward with a claim:

1. Filing the claim. The first step is officially filing a worker’s compensation or personal injury claim depending on whether a wrongful third party is involved.
2. Investigation.  Claims often trigger thorough inquiries, which may involve site visits, interviews, and analysis of workplace protocols.
3. Medical evaluations. Providers may need to review your condition to document the extent of your injuries and validate your claim.
4. Negotiation phase. Many cases are resolved during this phase through settlements with insurance companies or employers.
5. Litigation (if required). If negotiations don’t result in fair compensation, the case moves to litigation before reaching a resolution.

Each step can introduce questions and uncertainties, but we’re here to guide you through the process and provide the clarity and support you need.
