INJURY ATTORNEY HELPING VICTIMS IN ALBUQUERQUE AND BEYONDBased in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Law Office of Matthew Vance, P.C., is a law firm committed to fighting for real people hurt or harmed by the careless or reckless conduct of others. It takes just a few seconds for an accident or incident to happen, but it can take years for a victim to recover from the physical and emotional harm suffered due to someone else’s careless or reckless conduct. A tragic sudden death or catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord damage or brain trauma, can result from avoidable accidents caused by negligence, such as car, truck, and other motor vehicle collisions. When those collisions involve commercial vehicles – semi-trucks or “big rigs” – the sheer size of those commercial vehicles can turn a minor crash into a major crash with serious injuries. If you or a loved one has been involved in any vehicle accident, car crash, or other incident, Albuquerque personal injury lawyer Matthew Vance is ready to help you.
AN ALBUQUERQUE PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY TO INFORM YOU OF YOUR OPTIONS, FIGHT FOR YOU, AND OBTAIN JUSTICE FOR YOU.You have been injured in a car accident, a trucking accident, or hurt because of the careless or reckless conduct of someone else. Perhaps some fool driving another car or a bully in a big rig just smashed your car to bits, hurting you, your friends, or your family. What seemed like just another day, filled with plans and expectations, turned into a bizarre nightmare. How could this happen? Why you? Now you are without your car. You can’t get to the places you are supposed to go. There are bills for medical care; bills for the ambulance, bills for the Emergency Room visit, bills for the doctor at the Emergency Room, bills, bills, bills. You never planned on these bills; you never budgeted for them. They could break you. You need compensation for your losses but the insurance company isn't being fair. The insurance adjuster for the other person doesn’t seem to care, never calls you back, denies their insured did anything wrong, or is offering you next to nothing for all those bills and what you went through. This can’t be fair. This can’t be right.
The insurance companies have trained adjusters and defense lawyers that know the process and civil legal system. They've been specially trained to do their jobs. Unfortunately you can expect them to work against you, attempting to use the claims handling process and the legal system against you.
You can expect that they will attempt to deny or devalue your claim, paying you nothing, or less than you are legally entitled to in the hopes of underpaying as many claims as possible. If they can underpay your claim and then repeat that process on a few thousand or million more cases, then have just made a stack of money off of you and others they duped. Don't be duped. Don't take a chance.

I learned the profession from the ground up. I have had the privilege to work with and learn from some of the best attorneys in the State of New Mexico, if not the nation. I have always believed in what I do and representing every client zealously. I find it rewarding to represent the “little guy” and “underdog” against the “goliaths” and “wrongdoers.” When you love what you do and believe in what you do, you excel at it. ---- Matt VancePROTECT YOUR RIGHTS BY PURSUING A NEGLIGENCE CLAIMMatt Vance understands all too well the games that insurance companies and adjusters play with injured people, having worked early on at an insurance defense firm before dedicating his energies to advocating for the rights of victims. Anticipating the obstacles that may arise, he can help injured individuals and their families build a solid strategy when bringing a claim after an accident. Most of these cases are based on a theory of negligence, which requires proving the four elements of duty, breach, causation, and damages.
In most situations, such as car and truck accidents, the duty of care consists of behaving in a reasonably prudent manner, as an ordinary person would behave in a similar situation. Said another way, people have a duty to act as an ordinarily prudent person would under the circumstances.
