Personal Injury
When someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing causes a serious accident, you may sustain severe, life-altering injuries including head/brain injuries, spinal cord/back injuries, paraplegia, amputations, and other serious, catastrophic injuries. Our personal injury attorneys handle many cases including these areas:
Auto Accidents
One of the most common occurrences on the road is a car accident. They vary in severity and circumstances, and victims sometimes sustain serious injuries. When this happens, you need a knowledgeable auto accident attorney to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Motorcycle Accidents
While motorcycles give you freedoms on the road—wind in your face, sun on your neck, plenty of leg room—motorcycles are also deadly when involved in an accident. If you’ve been involved in an accident and sustained severe injuries, contact our New Mexico motorcycle accident lawyers.
Trucking Accidents
Although semi-truck drivers are held to strict rules and regulations, there are times when the driver is negligent in his duties. Whether it’s from fatigue or improper vehicle maintenance, trucking accidents can have serious consequences for those involved. At The Standridge Law Firm, P.C., we can help you fight for the compensation you deserve for your injuries arising from your trucking accident.
Gun Shot Wounds
Owning a gun is a responsibility that should not be taken lightly. Unfortunately, there are occurrences when a gun is improperly handled, accidently fired, or negligently designed and/or built. When this happens, serious accidents can occur. The Standridge Law Firm, P.C. will help you obtain compensation for your gun shot injuries from the negligent parties involved.
Cell Phone Car Accidents
If a negligent driver causes an accident due to inattention from using a cell phone while driving, you deserve compensation for your injuries. Contact The Standridge Law Firm, P.C. to fight for your rights as a victim.
Texting While Driving Accidents
Texting has become a worldwide phenomenon and is perfectly acceptable in many circumstances; however, driving is not one of those situations. Texting while driving can result in an accident and serious injuries to all those involved. If you’ve been involved in a texting while driving accident, contact The Standridge Law Firm, P.C. to fight for compensation.
Slip and Fall Accidents
From visiting with your neighbor to shopping at your local market, you may slip and fall on uneven ground, wet floors, or many other hazards on a property. Contact our personal injury attorneys if you’ve sustained injuries in a slip and fall accident due to a negligent property owner.
Nursing Home Abuse
Leaving your elderly relative in the care of a nursing home is a big decision, and you want to ensure their safety. Unfortunately, some nursing home employees do not care for their patients as they should. If you observe signs of nursing home abuse on your relative, contact The Standridge Law Firm, P.C. to fight for compensation from the abusive facility.
Nursing Home Neglect
Although there may not be bruises, cuts, or marks on your relative’s body, nursing home neglect is a serious problem. Malnutrition, poor hygiene, bed sores, and many other signs of neglect should not be left untreated. Contact our personal injury attorneys to discuss your nursing home neglect case.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one as a result of someone else’s negligence magnifies the grief of death. At The Standridge Law Firm, P.C., we know that monetary compensation can never replace your loved one, but our wrongful death attorneys can help you get compensation to help defer the cost of funeral expenses, leftover medical bills, and income loss.
