“I Got Hit Out of Nowhere.” What to Do After a Car Accident in New Mexico
You were driving through Las Cruces, maybe heading home on I-10 or taking a quick trip to the grocery store, when everything changed in an instant. Another car ran a red light, hit you from the side, and now you’re dealing with pain, confusion, and questions you never expected to face.
Who’s going to pay for the medical bills? How long will you be out of work? Should you talk to the other driver’s insurance company? Most importantly, who’s actually on your side?
This is exactly the moment when having a seasoned, local auto accident attorney makes all the difference. And for people across southern New Mexico, that attorney is Kenneth G. Egan.
Why People in Las Cruces Call Kenneth G. Egan After a Crash
For nearly 30 years, attorney Kenneth G. Egan has served individuals and families hurt in auto accidents throughout Las Cruces and the surrounding areas. He doesn’t pass your case to a junior associate. He listens, investigates, and fights for the results you deserve—all personally.
When you walk into his office, you’re not just a case number. You’re a person who’s been blindsided by a life-altering event. And Kenneth gets to work making things right.
What You’re Really Facing After a Car Accident in New Mexico
Many people think the hardest part of a crash is the physical recovery. And yes—your injuries matter, and your recovery matters. But very quickly, the legal and financial aftermath becomes overwhelming:
- Insurance adjusters asking for statements
- Medical bills piling up
- A totaled car and no way to get to work
- Time off the job, lost wages, uncertainty
In New Mexico, you’re entitled to compensation for:
- Medical treatment now and in the future
- Lost income and diminished earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Vehicle repair or replacement
- Punitive damages, especially in cases involving drunk or reckless drivers
And since New Mexico doesn’t cap damages in personal injury claims, your full recovery can be pursued without limitation.
How Kenneth Builds Your Case—One Detail at a Time
The Law Offices of Kenneth G. Egan does not believe in cookie-cutter cases. Every auto accident has its own story, and that story matters.
Kenneth and his team start by:
- Gathering evidence (photos, reports, witness statements)
- Consulting with medical providers about your long-term needs
- Negotiating directly with insurers (so you don’t have to)
- Keeping you informed, step-by-step, until resolution
You don’t have to know how this all works. You just need someone who does—and who will handle it with skill and care.
“I’m Not Sure If I Need an Attorney…”
That’s common. A lot of people wonder if hiring a lawyer is “worth it”—especially after minor crashes. But here’s the reality:
- Some injuries (like whiplash, back strain, or concussion) take time to appear
- Insurance companies often undervalue claims or delay payout
- Saying the wrong thing to an adjuster can harm your case
Speaking with a personal injury lawyer early gives you leverage, clarity, and peace of mind. Kenneth G. Egan offers free consultations, so there’s no risk in calling.
