What kind of lawyer do I need for a automobile crashing into my home

Answered 10 months ago by attorney David Abels   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Car Accident
David Abels
If you were at home when the accident occurred and suffered physical injuries, you should consult with a personal injury lawyer licensed in your state. An accident lawyer can help you pursue a claim against the negligent driver’s auto insurance carrier.  If you only sustained property damage, you can still consult with a personal injury lawyer. However, it may be difficult to find an attorney willing to handle the claim. In my experience, most lawyers do not take cases that involve property damage only.

It's not clear what or who damaged your vehicle but you may want to try several options such as an insurance claim against your auto coverage or against a homeowners policy at the location where the damage occurred. 🤔... in the alternative you can call your small claims court in the county or municipality where the incident occurred... you can also call the UNM law school clinic for representation if you can't afford an attorney!

What legal liability might we have if our 21 year old son injured someone in an auto accident? Could we be sued?

Answered 11 years and 7 months ago by attorney Mark Caruso   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Car Accident
Mark Caruso
You would not be liable for the acts of you 21 year old son unless you were the owner of the vehicle.  Your son is over 18 years old, so you have no parental liability.  However, you could be liable as the owner of the vehicle if you have no insurance on the vehicle.  If you are not the owner of the vehicle and don't drive the vehicle you have nothing to worry about.  For more information on New Mexico and Albuquerque car accidents please see our web site at www.carusolaw.com or our blog at www.AlbuquerqueAccidentAttorney.blogspot.com...
