New Mexico is a comparative fault state. This means that if the motorcyclist is partially at fault for the collision, then the motorcyclist may still be compensated for a portion of his or her injuries, if we can prove that the automobile driver was also at fault.

Insurance Bad Faith

Thell Thomas is a New Mexico Personal Injury Lawyer who sues insurance companies when they treat you unfairly.

You are responsible and purchased insurance. You did your part and paid your premiums.

Under New Mexico law your insurance company must treat you fairly and consider the interests of you, the policyholder, equal to its own. Your insurance company owes you a fiduciary duty.
