Protecting Injured Motorcyclists in New Mexico
Motorcyclists are some of the most vulnerable road users, with little protection in a collision. Unfortunately, insurance adjusters often assume riders were speeding, weaving, or taking risks-regardless of the facts. We challenge those assumptions by investigating every detail of your accident, building the evidence you need for a strong claim, and holding negligent drivers accountable.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes
New Mexico's wide-open roads and scenic routes attract riders year-round-but they also come with hazards. We regularly handle cases involving:
Many of these accidents are caused by car or truck drivers failing to see motorcyclists in time. We work to prove fault and secure full compensation for injured riders.
Helmet Laws & Your Injury Claim
In New Mexico, helmets are legally required for riders under 18. If you're over 18, you can legally ride without one-but that doesn't mean you can't recover damages if you're hurt. Not wearing a helmet may be raised by the insurance company as a defense, but under our state's comparative negligence rules, you may still recover compensation if the other driver was at fault. Every case is different, and we'll help you understand how the law applies to your situation.
Serious Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents

Frequently Asked Questions
About Motorcycle Accidents
The driver says I was speeding-can I still win my case?
Yes. New Mexico's comparative negligence law allows you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
What if the driver who hit me doesn't have insurance?
We can explore uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage through your own policy, and identify other potential sources of recovery.
