How Does a Personal Injury Lawsuit Help?
A personal injury lawsuit after an oilfield accident allows you to seek compensation for your damages. This can include medical expenses and lost wages, but can also include suffering, and future medical expenses.
If an oil company has been acting recklessly, or intentionally disregarding your safety, New Mexico law allows the court and jury to punish the company with punitive damages. That’s when the injured person is awarded additional money not because they need it, but because the company needs to be punished for its malicious behavior.
A lawsuit allows you to protect yourself from creditors and medical expenses. Ask our New Mexico oilfield accident lawyers how your rights are protected when you call them.
What is the Statute of Limitations for Oilfield Accident Lawsuits?
In New Mexico you have three years after the day of getting injured to file a lawsuit. This is meant to give you time to get to the doctors and get treatment for your injuries without being rushed to court.
However it is VITAL that you speak to a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident at an oilfield in New Mexico. We can gather evidence right away that will be useful if your case goes to court. If you wait 3 years to speak to us it may be too late to get all the facts about what happened, which could weaken your case.
