Questions
What types of personal injury cases do you handle?
We handle car accidents, truck accidents, premises liability, oilfield accidents, and wrongful death cases resulting from negligence.
How are workers' compensation claims different from personal injury cases?
Workers' comp covers job-related injuries regardless of fault, while personal injury requires proving negligence. Workers' comp doesn't cover pain and suffering damages.
What if my workers' compensation claim was denied?
We help appeal denied claims through the New Mexico Workers Compensation Administration, with proven success in overturning improper denials.
Do you handle cases outside Roswell?
We represent clients throughout New Mexico and Texas, with experience in both states' workers' compensation systems and court jurisdictions.
How much does legal representation cost?
We work on contingency fees for most cases - you pay nothing unless we win your compensation.
