There’s a freedom that comes with riding a motorcycle, but there’s also a fear that other drivers won’t share the road and respect your space. Every day, a motorcyclist is injured or killed in New Mexico traffic collision. All too often, the crash was caused by a negligent driver who was not looking or paying attention.
At Parnall Law, our dedicated motorcycle accident attorneys have spent many years standing up for the rights of motorcyclists and their families after terrible accidents.
We take an aggressive approach in these types of cases because, unfortunately, we’ve found that insurance companies often try to unfairly blame motorcyclists or otherwise shortchange them during the payout process.
When you trust Parnall Law to handle your motorcycle accident claim, we will take action immediately to demand maximum compensation. You can count on our team to act aggressively, decisively, and intelligently in pursuit of payment for you. Specifically:
Remember, insurance adjusters, even from your insurance company, are loyal to their employer and the company’s bottom line. Soon after a motorcycle accident, you may receive a settlement offer. Do not sign any paperwork or accept any settlement until you consult with one of our motorcycle accident attorneys.
We’ll fight for the compensation you deserve
You are likely wondering what your case is worth. While every case is unique and depends on various factors, there are a few key elements that can help determine the value of your motorcycle accident case.
First, the extent of your injuries will play a significant role in assessing the worth of your case. Severe injuries that require extensive medical treatment, ongoing care, or result in permanent disabilities will likely result in a higher compensation amount. Additionally, the impact of the injuries on your daily life and ability to work will also be taken into consideration.
Another important factor is the level of liability of the other party involved in the accident. If it is determined that the other party was solely at fault for the accident, you may be entitled to a higher settlement amount. However, if it is found that you were partially at fault for the accident, the compensation amount may be reduced proportionally.
Determining the worth of your motorcycle accident case can be a complex process. It is essential to consult with an experienced Albuquerque motorcycle accident attorney who can evaluate your case and provide you with an accurate assessment of its value.
Our experienced team of attorneys understands the challenges of motorcycle accident cases and will gather all necessary evidence to support your claim. We can consult with medical experts, accident reconstruction specialists, and other professionals to build a strong case on your behalf when needed.

If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a motorcycle crash, Parnall Law is here to help. Contact our Albuquerque motorcycle accident lawyers today to schedule a free consultation. Our skilled legal team will investigate the cause of your crash, confront at-fault drivers and their insurance companies, and demand full and fair compensation for your injuries.
Reckless motorists are often quick to point the finger at the motorcyclist after an accident. And, unfortunately, motorcyclists can be the object of prejudice among jurors and insurers. At Parnall Law, we fight unfair stereotypes with facts and hard evidence.
Even if a motorcyclist is partially at fault, our dedicated Albuquerque motorcycle accident attorneys may be able to help. New Mexico follows the doctrine of “comparative negligence,” which means that each person is responsible for his or her conduct that contributed to an injury. But even if an accident victim is found to have contributed to the crash, he or she may still be able to recover compensation, or “damages,” from the other party. For example:
If an injured motorcyclist is 55 percent at fault for an accident, and the defendant is 45 percent at fault, the motorcyclist can still recover 45 percent of the damages he or she is claiming. Even if a motorcyclist is 90 percent at fault, and the defendant is 10 percent at fault, the motorcyclist can recover up to 10 percent of damages.
As your attorneys, it would be our job to present facts that negate any false accusations against you and to protect you from being unjustly blamed.

I had never had to file a lawsuit in my life. I was afraid to even start the process. Una Campbell and staff like Maura were always so nice and always explained to me what was next. They checked up on me even if there was no movement in the case at the time. Even during a family emergency Una made sure she figured out how to show up to a meeting. I appreciated that but I would have understood. This made me see the hard work and the dedication she always put into all her cases. Thank you so much for everything. I wish you the Merriest of Christmases and many Happy New years!

If you have been involved in a serious accident and sustained significant injuries, you need to consult with an Albuquerque personal injury lawyer to understand your legal options. After a serious injury accident, you will need to file a claim and deal with the insurance adjusters. The insurance company will try to minimize the amount it pays out in claims to protect its profit margin. It may deny your claim or offer a settlement that is a fraction of the fair value of the claim. A lawyer will help you understand your legal rights and whether you have a valid personal injury lawsuit.
A lawyer can collect evidence to strengthen your claim and negotiate on your behalf with the insurance company representing the at-fault party. A lawyer can push back if an insurer tries to deny your claim or take advantage of you. If the case goes to trial, an experienced personal injury attorney will know how to present your case to jurors to increase your chances of a favorable jury verdict.
Attorney Bert Parnall is a fighter. He and his legal team will fight for your legal rights if you have been injured in an accident due to the negligence of someone else in Albuquerque or anywhere in Central New Mexico.
An experienced personal injury lawyer brings a knowledgeable perspective to the process of negotiating with insurers and settling an injury claim. Based on years of experience handling similar claims, an attorney will have a sense of the fair value of your injury claim. Most accident victims are uncertain what their claim is worth. An attorney will analyze the facts of your case and provide guidance about whether an insurer’s settlement offer is reasonable based on the specifics of your case. If you have never dealt with a claim before, it may be difficult for you to know whether an offer is fair on your own.
The insurance company will have lawyers advising its staff during the settlement process. Having an attorney on your side and looking out for your interests evens the playing field. Insurance companies want to avoid going to court. The insurance company may agree to a higher settlement in order to avoid litigation if you have a lawyer advocating for you. If you do not have legal representation, you will be at a disadvantage in dealing with the insurance company.
You want a lawyer that has years of experience handling cases similar to your case and has a record of verdicts and settlements. Ask the lawyer what percentage of his or her practice involves the practice area that applies to your case. You want an established lawyer who knows the local court system and has the resources and determination to pursue your case to completion.
You want a lawyer with whom you feel comfortable communicating and sharing information. You want a lawyer who will listen to your questions and concerns and offer informative answers. You want a lawyer who will be accessible when you have questions and keep you informed of the status of your case.
You want a lawyer that has good references.
Steer clear of any attorney who promises or guarantees you a settlement or a certain outcome. No lawyer can ethically guarantee a certain result in a case.
To find an attorney, you may ask your friends, relatives or co-workers to recommend a lawyer who they have used. You can also schedule a free, no-obligation consultation with an attorney at Parnall Law to get an understanding of your legal options. The consultation will help you clarify your legal options at no charge whether you decide to work with our law firm.
The most common reason to hire a personal injury lawyer is to provide representation after a car crash caused by someone else that resulted in serious injuries. The law allows people who are harmed by others’ negligence to seek compensation. That is an adversarial process. It is helpful to have an experienced injury attorney standing up for you when dealing with an insurance company representing the at-fault party. The insurance company may dismiss or delay your claim if you do not have a personal injury lawyer representing you.
Other reasons to hire a personal injury lawyer include pursuing compensation for injuries caused by unsafe conditions at someone else’s property or protecting a loved one in a nursing home if you suspect your loved one is being subjected to neglect or abuse.
In many instances, people who need legal guidance may have questions about a troubling situation and need a personal injury attorney to investigate the matter and find answers.
