Questions
What types of cases does The Branch Law Firm handle?
We specialize in personal injury cases including car accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, truck accidents, nursing home abuse, and oil and gas injuries. Our practice focuses on catastrophic injuries requiring complex legal representation.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis - you pay no upfront fees. Our payment comes from a percentage of your settlement or verdict, only after we win your case successfully.
What compensation can I recover after an accident?
Victims may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and punitive damages in appropriate cases. Our attorneys help quantify both economic and non-economic losses.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
New Mexico's statute of limitations typically allows three years for personal injury claims, but specific circumstances may affect deadlines. Contact us promptly to preserve evidence and meet filing requirements.
Can I afford legal representation for my injury case?
Yes. Our contingency fee arrangement removes financial barriers to quality legal representation. If we don't recover compensation, you owe no attorney fees.
