After a crash that may have hurt your spine, the papers and photos you keep now can matter later.<\/p>\n

It is general information about New Mexico injury claims, not a prediction of any result.<\/p>\n

Why Evidence Matters Early After a Spinal Cord Injury Crash<\/h2>\n

Evidence matters early because a spinal cord injury claim is built on records. Those records show how the crash happened, what the injury is, and what it has taken from you.<\/p>\n

Memories fade and paperwork gets lost. Scenes change within days, and appointment details blur within weeks. A well-kept file helps you, and any lawyer you work with, see the full picture.<\/p>\n

New Mexico uses pure comparative negligence. That means your own share of fault lowers what you can recover, but it does not bar recovery entirely (Scott v. Rizzo<\/a>). Records about how the crash happened help show each person’s share.<\/p>\n\n

Photos, Video, and the Scene<\/h2>\n
