Let's Win Together
You deserve more than rushed answers or one overextended attorney trying to manage everything alone.
We close the gap between how a legal firm should operate and how it often does.
The harsh reality is that there are rarely any Farmington motorcycle accidents that do not leave the rider with some injuries and losses. But you should understand that from the legal system’s perspective, you are never required to hire a lawyer or have legal representation when you are pursuing a Farmington motorcycle accident lawsuit. Every victim has the right to handle the preparation and litigation of the matter on their own. But before making this important decision, there are a few items that deserve your careful consideration.
First, ask yourself whether you have the time and energy to handle the documentation and red tape involved in preparing your case for filing with the court. The process can be taxing, even for a legal professional who handles these matters regularly. Also, can you afford to devote the time needed to the preparation of the case instead of placing your full focus on your healing and rehabilitation to provide the best possible outcome for your injuries? The legal team at 505 Legal is well-equipped to handle the lawsuit on your behalf, but only you can put in the energy, sweat, and work needed to achieve the best possible recovery and get back out on two wheels, enjoying scenic New Mexico.
Finally, are you willing to risk a meager amount of compensation or even worse no compensation because you tried to litigate your Farmington motorcycle accident lawsuit without legal expertise? Think of the total cost of your medical expenses and the fees charged by a quality motorcycle mechanic who is going to be rebuilding your bike. Quality care for you and your motorcycle does not come cheap. And with that in mind, you should know that when a Farmington motorcycle accident lawsuit is handled by a legal professional like a motorcycle accident lawyer at 505 Legal, it typically results in a larger settlement or more robust compensation award than cases litigated by the victim with no legal services. Trusting the pros for your recovery, your bike repairs, and your legal needs could be the best choice you make and the one that delivers the best all-around outcome.
After a Farmington motorcycle accident, you are sure to have many aches, pains, and concerns.

Soon, you will understand your rights as the victim of a motorcycle accident, the legal merit of your case, and how our team of pros can help you reach the best outcome possible for this unfortunate incident.
With all of the information we share, you will be ready to begin making choices that will get you back on the road and enjoying your life on the open road.
As a seasoned motorcycle rider, you know that most of your time on two wheels is spent watching other drivers and scanning your surroundings.
The reality is that many drivers are not paying attention and can fail to see a car, semi-truck, or hazard in the road, which means they are not watching for you either.
Riders learn quickly to make eye contact with other drivers, watch for indications of distracted driving or driving under the influence, and act accordingly to try to avoid the many incidents that are caused when another person is negligent and the result is an accident that could include:
As a rider or driver, it is common to assume that most vehicle accidents are caused by one of the parties that is involved in the crash. Someone has made a poor decision, resulting in a motorcycle accident involving multiple vehicles. But that is only the scenario part of the time. When carefully evaluated with your 505 Legal motorcycle accident lawyer, you will find that there is a long list of potential liable parties who could share in the responsibility for your Farmington motorcycle accident, such as:
After a motorcycle accident in Farmington, money could be the furthest thing from your mind as you worry about healing and making a complete recovery from your injuries. But there is also likely to be concern about the cost of your medical care and the incident’s long-term financial impact. You can put some of that worry behind you with a free consultation at 505 Legal to explore case valuation with your motorcycle accident lawyer.
The process involves gathering the documentation needed to verify your economic damages that have a clear dollar value. There are the losses and expenses you incurred because of the bike accident, such as:
In addition, you will be able to apply a dollar value to items that will impact your quality of life in the future. These non-economic damages can include losses and challenges such as:
The time limit to file a lawsuit related to a motorcycle accident in Farmington is three years from the date of the incident. If the victim’s loved ones are filing the case due to wrongful death as a result of a Farmington motorcycle accident, the family will have three years from the date of their loved one’s passing to have the case filed with the court. After the expiration of the Statute of Limitations, the victim no longer has the right to pursue legal action related to this specific matter.
In accidents that were caused by an employee of a government entity or agency, such as the City of Farmington or the State of New Mexico, the victim must file a formal notice of claim within 90 days of the incident to have the right to file a lawsuit against the liable party within two years of the incident.
Yes, even when you are cited for an infraction such as speeding or illegal passing, you can file a lawsuit to recover at least a portion of your damages resulting from the incident. Getting a ticket does not eliminate your right to pursue justice for another driver’s negligence.
New Mexico uses a pure comparative negligence system that allows the liability to be shared among multiple parties involved in a vehicle accident. You will be assigned a share of the liability for the accident, as will the other parties sharing in the responsibility. As a victim of injuries and losses that created damages, you can then sue the other liable parties for a share of your damages that is equal to the percentage of their liability for the incident. If you were 30% liable, you could sue the other liable party for 70% of your damages.
Yes, if you did not have insurance at the time of the accident, it will not affect your ability to pursue a lawsuit. You could be cited for not having insurance, but that was not a factor in the cause of the accident and will not prevent you from filing a lawsuit.
The questions and concerns that weigh heavily on your mind after a Farmington motorcycle accident are certain to be slowing your healing.
