Personal Injury

Albuquerque Personal Injury Attorney

If you have sustained a personal or property injury, turn to me, attorney Matthew Vance at the Law Office of Matthew Vance, P.C. I have several years of experience providing comprehensive personal injury representation to clients across New Mexico. I am a skilled trial lawyer that has also served as a client advocate in over 100 mediation cases. Whether your case is handled through mediation or litigation, I can help you determine which course of action may be most beneficial to your situation.

Many cases fall under the heading of personal injury. Below is a listing of just some of the types of  cases I confidently handle:

• Auto accidents
• Trucking accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Premises liability (including slip and falls and inadequate security)
• Dog bites and animal attacks
• Wrongful death
• Uninsured motorist claims
• Bad faith insurance practices
• Homeowner’s claims

I used to work for insurance companies. I have an extensive understanding of how insurance companies operate regarding injury (personal and property) claims. I know the tricks they use to devalue your claims and the ways they low-ball offers. Insurance companies are not in the business of being fair. Insurance companies spend millions of dollars every year training their adjusters on how to deny claims and finding ways not to pay claims. Shouldn't you have a champion on your side to fight for you? Let my experience working on the side of the insurance company in personal injury matters benefit you. I will use my knowledge of the insurance companies' tactics to prepare your case and aggressively advocate for you.

When you entrust me with your legal matter, I respect your decision and you. I make the following pledges to you regarding the handling of your case:

• If necessary, I will come to your home or hospital to meet with you.
• Initial consultations are always free.
• I will strive to return your calls the same day they are received, and offer a 24 hour voicemail for leaving messages.
• I will handle your case, not a paralegal.
• I will communicate with you regarding the progress and handling of your case on a regular basis.
• All significant meetings related to your case will be between yourself and me.
• You will make the decision whether to go to trial or settle your case.
• In most cases, I will reduce my fee if it appears I would otherwise net more than you and will consider a reduced fee on other selected cases.

You do not have to face your personal injury claim and the insurance companies alone. I am dedicated to being an aggressive advocate for you and your rights, working hard to ensure that you are informed regarding all aspects of your case.

Contact me, an Albuquerque personal injury attorney that keeps your best interests in mind throughout the entirety of your case. I also represent clients in criminal law matters. A free initial consultation is offered. Evening and weekend appointments are available upon request.
