IT'S TIME TO GET A REPUTABLE CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER
We know that hiring a lawyer can feel like a big step, especially when you’re already dealing with injuries, medical appointments, and the stress of an accident you didn’t ask for. Here’s what you can expect when you work with the Gaddy Law Firm.
Free Consultation
It starts with a conversation. We’ll sit down with you (in person or by phone), listen to what happened, review any documents or photos you have, and give you an honest assessment of your case. There’s no charge for this meeting and no obligation to hire us. If we think you have a strong case, we’ll explain exactly how we’d approach it. If we don’t think an attorney would add value to your situation, we’ll tell you that too.
No Upfront Cost: Contingency Fee Representation
We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay zero out of pocket. No hourly rates, no retainers, no billing surprises. Our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you, and we only get paid if you get paid. We also advance all case expenses (expert fees, filing costs, records requests) and are reimbursed from the settlement or verdict at the end. This arrangement means that anyone can access quality legal representation regardless of their financial situation, and it means our interests are aligned with yours: the more we recover for you, the better we both do.

Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end crashes are common in Albuquerque, the trailing driver is almost always at fault, and even low-speed hits cause whiplash, herniated discs, and concussions, so don’t let an insurer call it “just a fender bender.”
T-Bone and Intersection Accidents
Side-impact crashes from running a red light, a stop sign, or an unsafe left turn often cause serious injuries, and disputed cases usually turn on camera footage, witnesses, and signal timing records.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on crashes are the deadliest type, often caused by a driver crossing the center line, and these cases frequently involve wrongful death or long-term disability, which we pursue aggressively.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
When a driver flees, state law treats them as an “uninsured motorist” so your own coverage can step in, and we use surveillance footage, debris analysis, and witnesses to track them down.
Drunk Driving Accidents
A drunk driver’s criminal case won’t pay for your injuries, but a civil claim can, often including punitive damages and a “dram shop” claim against the bar or store that over-served them.
Distracted Driving Accidents
Texting, eating, or adjusting a GPS can all cause a serious crash, and we know how to pull the phone records, app data, and infotainment logs that prove the other driver wasn’t paying attention.
Rideshare (Uber and Lyft) Accidents
If you were hurt in an Uber or Lyft crash, coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the time, and we sort through the overlapping policies to find the one that applies to you.
Accidents Involving Commercial Trucks
Truck crashes can involve the driver, the company, and their insurers, while government vehicle accidents trigger strict Tort Claims Act rules like a 90-day notice deadline, so both demand prompt action.
Why You Need a Car Accident Lawyer After a New Mexico Crash
After a car accident, you’ll likely be contacted by insurance adjusters, sometimes within hours. They may sound friendly and concerned, but their goal is to close your claim for as little money as possible. That’s not a guess; it’s how the business works. Adjusters are trained to ask questions that can be used to minimize your payout, and they may push a quick settlement before you even know the full extent of your injuries.
A car accident lawyer levels the playing field. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Independent investigation and evidence preservation
Your car accident lawyer will obtain the police report, gather photos and video footage, interview witnesses, and, when the case calls for it, bring in accident reconstruction experts. Evidence can disappear fast. Security camera footage gets recorded over, skid marks wash away, and memories fade. An attorney moves quickly to lock down the proof that shows what really happened and who was at fault.
Handling all communication with insurance companies
Once you hire an attorney, the insurance adjusters have to go through your lawyer instead of contacting you directly. No more stressful phone calls, no more worrying about saying the wrong thing. Your attorney manages every conversation, every document request, and every negotiation so you don’t have to.
Calculating the true value of your claim
Most people have never had to put a dollar figure on a serious injury, and insurance companies take advantage of that. An experienced car accident lawyer knows how to account for everything: not just your current medical bills and lost wages, but future treatment costs, diminished earning capacity, and the real impact the accident has had on your daily life. We work with medical professionals, economists, and vocational experts when needed to build a demand that reflects your actual losses, not just what the insurer wants to pay.
Aggressive negotiation backed by a willingness to go to trial
Insurance companies pay closer attention when a lawyer is involved, and they pay even closer attention when that lawyer has a track record of taking cases to court. We negotiate from a position of strength, presenting clear evidence of fault, detailed documentation of your damages, and a well-supported demand. If the insurer won’t come to the table with a fair number, we file suit and prepare for trial. That leverage matters.
Managing medical bills and liens
While your case is pending, medical bills can pile up. We work with healthcare providers to issue letters of protection so your bills don’t go to collections while you wait for a resolution. We also negotiate liens from health insurance companies and other payers, often reducing those amounts significantly, which puts more money in your pocket at the end of the case.
Studies consistently show that accident victims who hire attorneys recover more money, even after the attorney’s fee, than those who try to settle on their own. Insurance companies know this, too, which is why they prefer to deal with unrepresented claimants.

How a Car Accident Attorney Helps YOU
Investigation and Case Building
Once we take your case, we move quickly. We obtain the police report, preserve evidence, send spoliation letters to prevent the other side from destroying records, and begin building a detailed picture of liability and damages. If the case warrants it, we bring in accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, and economists to support your claim. We handle the paperwork, the phone calls, and the strategy. You focus on getting better.
Negotiation and, If Needed, Litigation
The majority of car accident cases settle before trial, but only when the settlement offer is fair. We present your claim to the insurance company with thorough documentation and a clear demand. If the insurer refuses to offer reasonable compensation, we file a lawsuit and prepare your case for trial. Insurance companies know which law firms actually try cases and which ones don’t. We try cases. That reputation gives our negotiations real weight.
Transparency from Start to Finish
Throughout the process, we keep you informed. You’ll know what’s happening with your case, what decisions are coming up, and what your options are at each stage. When your case resolves, we walk you through exactly how the funds are distributed: what goes to you, what covers medical liens, and what our fee is. No surprises.
