New Mexico Injury Lawyers

Ron Bell Injury Lawyers - New Mexico Injury Law Firm

How much money is my case worth?
Your case is worth either what you agree to with the insurance company, or the amount of a cash award granted by a judge and jury. We examine all of the conditions surrounding your case in order to arrive at a figure we believe the insurance company must pay for your injuries.

Generally, the dollar value is dependent upon the type and extent of your injuries. Other factors influencing the dollar value of your auto accident case are the amount of medical bills, length of treatment, frequency of treatment, future medical bills, permanent disabilities, and any other damage that can be documented. Our New Mexico auto accident lawyers study every detail so you get the money you deserve for your injuries.

How long will it take to get a fair and reasonable settlement offer?
New Mexico auto accident cases can vary in length from weeks, months, and even years in some instances. Typically, you will get paid after you have healed from your injuries and have been released by the doctor. This is the best way you can be assured of receiving the full value for your injuries.

We want you to get this compensation for your injuries, so we wait until treatment is completed. Our New Mexico auto accident lawyers gather the information that increases the value of your auto accident case. We constantly do everything we can to move your case forward toward settlement.

Will I have to go to court?
In most cases, settlements can be negotiated without filing suit or going to court. Through strength gained in preparation, we can better negotiate a fair settlement for your claim. Insurance companies know which lawyers never try cases and tend to offer those lawyers smaller settlements. We are qualified to advise you when your negotiated settlement is fair and, more importantly, advise you when it's not.

How much will Ron Bell Injury Lawyers charge?
There are several ways a New Mexico auto accident lawyer charges for services. At Ron Bell Injury Lawyers, there is no charge for your first visit or telephone call. All your questions will be answered and there is no obligation. In injury cases, we never charge an attorney's fee unless we obtain a recovery for you. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery. If a recovery is not made in your injury case, you pay nothing in attorney's fees. We do not charge any fee for helping you settle your claim for damage to your vehicle.

Is it true that the best lawyers in law firms never handle the small cases?
At our law firm, only the best New Mexico accident attorneys will handle your case. We're a team. More than one person will probably work with you, but all of our employees are skilled at their jobs, from our lawyers to our receptionists. Whether you are talking with a Ron Bell auto accident lawyer, receptionist, or case manager, you will get all the professional attention you deserve. Also, we stay personally involved in all of our cases, and we are always accessible to deal with any problems you may have.

Can any lawyer handle any type of case?
It is true that you could hire any lawyer licensed to practice in New Mexico, but not all lawyers have the training, expertise, and trial experience that the auto accident lawyers have at Ron Bell Injury Lawyers. Our Albuquerque personal injury lawyers always represent our clients' best interests.

Think of it this way: if you needed surgery, would you rather have it done by a surgeon who is a specialist or a general practitioner? Both are doctors, right? Yes, but the surgeon has the training and experience you need. The same is true for lawyers. The family lawyer who prepared your Last Will and Testament may not have the personal injury experience that you need. You have a right to ask about the experience and training of the auto accident lawyer you hire. You should exercise this right.

Should I release my medical records to the insurance adjustor?
Definitely not. Releases should only be signed under limited circumstances and after consulting with a qualified personal injury lawyer. If your medical information gets into the insurance company's hands, it could hurt your case.

Who will pay the doctor bills and fix my car if the other person has no insurance?
Even if the other driver does not have any insurance, you may still be covered. Check with our office. We can look at your policy and tell you if you have uninsured motorist coverage, which can compensate you if you have a car accident with someone who has no insurance.
