Many people will tell you that there is a formula for your recovery. If it was only that easy. Your recovery is not based on a formula but rather, on several factors like:
– The impact the injuries had on your life
– The long-term impact of your injuries and prognosis
– The medical treatment that you endured
– The percentage that your actions led to the injuries or damages you have suffered

The purpose of any recovery is to compensate you for your loss and try to put you back into the position you were in prior to the injuries occurring. Duran & McDonald will include you on all of our legal analysis based on our experience, knowledge and training so that you understand what you are entitled to receive.

If you speak with an attorney who requests money up front, WALK AWAY! Most, if not all, attorneys who represent people who have been injured by someone else will not require any money up front. Duran & McDonald will sign a written, easy to read, agreement with you that outlines our payment plan. We receive a percentage of the recovery at the end of the case. That allows you to be represented without the need for out of pocket expenses and to pursue what you are legally entitled to.

All of our consultations are free. Make the most of it and schedule your consultation today. Our attorneys will spend time with you to go over your options and you can decide whether we are the right fit for you. Choosing the right attorney is an important choice. You want to make sure you have access to the attorney and not just support staff. You want to make sure that the attorney you choose understands your story in a meaningful way so that you are not “just another case.” Duran & McDonald will do what we can to make sure you understand your case, how we can best communicate with each other and make sure our attorneys are accessible to you.

There is an old saying, if something is too good to be true then it probably is. Often, when you accept money without speaking with an attorney beforehand you are receiving less than what you may be entitled to recover. Also, when you accept money from an insurance company you may be closing the door to other compensation by the person at fault or even by your own insurance company. Call Duran & McDonald today and we will be more than happy to discuss your options with you before you accept any money.

New Mexico allows injured people to recover for the damages they suffered even if they were partially at fault. The recovery may be reduced depending on that person’s percentage of fault. Fighting for the correct percentage of fault is often dealt with in litigation and may require hiring experts to testify. Duran & McDonald will discuss your options with you and has the appropriate resources to review your case with an expert in order to fight for what is fair for you.

The simple answer is that if you want the best representation and to increase your chances of getting fair compensation for your losses, it’s best to have an attorney working by your side at the earliest possible time after your injury.

Once you are injured due to the fault of someone else, it often starts the ball rolling of attorneys and insurance companies whose job it is to ensure the person at fault does not compensate you for your injuries and loss. It is important that you do not go into it alone. Contact our office today and we can immediately begin to guide you through the maze of medical bills and insurance adjusters.
