Do You Need a Hobbs
Personal Injury Lawyer?

Depending on the severity of the harm done to you or a loved one, you may be able to settle a personal injury claim with an insurance company on your own. In fact, when people contact us, this is the advice we offer if this is their situation.

However, if the injury you sustained drastically affected your life or caused serious pain and suffering, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. You should look for a personal injury firm with the knowledge and skill to protect your rights, clearly explain your options, and what it will take to get what you deserve. We realize that the decision to contact a accident lawyer can be stressful, which is why we offer free initial consults and handle cases on a contingency basis, This means zero up-front cost to you and you owe nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Additionally, if we discuss your case and don’t believe you’ll benefit from our legal services – we’ll tell you that for free.

Working with an injury attorney in Hobbs, NM early is always in your best interests. You’ll gain important insights and clear direction for what to do next. Remember, the insurance company will be working to reduce what they payout.

The sooner that you discuss your case with a capable personal injury lawyer, the better your position.

Choose the Right Lawyer for You.

Many personal injury firms operate with little regard for the people in their care. Be wary of attorneys offering fast turnarounds and settlements.

We Accept a Wide Range of Personal Injury Claims

Personal Injury Lawsuits in New Mexico

When another person or business is the reason you are hurt, it is important to talk with a local personal injury lawyer about your options. Sometimes, the only way to hold them responsible is to take them to court and file a claim with that party’s insurance company.

At the Kemmy Law Firm, our compassionate and skilled personal injury attorneys in Hobbs, NM will demand justice and compensation for what was done to you. We will do this by guiding you through the claims process.

1. Conducting an Independent Investigation

Before filing a lawsuit on your behalf, we want to have all of the facts. We perform an in-depth and independent investigation into the accident. We gather and analyze all of the available evidence.

2. Hiring Expert Witnesses

To support your claim against another individual or business, we may hire one or more expert witnesses. An expert may be able to testify regarding what caused the accident, who was at fault, the type and extent of your injuries, and the economic consequences of your injuries.

3. Filing the Complaint

The complaint, also called a petition, provides the court with the important details of your case, including who you are, who the defendant is, what happened, and how you were hurt.

4. Serving the Defendant(s)

The law requires that we provide the defendant(s) with proper notice of the lawsuit. This is an essential step in the litigation process, and if not performed properly, your case can be dismissed.

5. Receiving the Defendant’s Answer

Once the defendant receives the complaint, they have a few weeks to respond by filing an answer with the court. If the defendant ignores the complaint and does not file an appearance in court or an answer, you may be able to seek a default judgment.

6. Utilizing the Discovery Process

After the defendant answers the complaint, the next phase of litigation is the discovery process. This is how we will continue with our independent investigation. During discovery, we will exchange information and documentation with the other side. We can demand answers to questions by filing interrogatories, demands for documentation, and scheduling depositions.

7. Pre-Trial Motions & Settlement Negotiations

Once discovery is completed; we may file one or more pre-trial motions. This is when we address technical and procedural issues related to your case, and the judge may decide issues that influence what takes place at trial. We also may enter into settlement negotiations or agree to go through mediation or arbitration to resolve the claim.

8. Trial

If your personal injury claim is not resolved through a settlement or mediation, then the next step is to prepare for trial. During a trial, your trial lawyers, as well as attorneys for the defendant, will present their arguments supported by evidence, including your own testimony, your medical records, and expert witnesses’ testimony. The judge or a jury will decide if the defendant is responsible for your injuries, and if so, how much compensation you should receive.
