Pedestrians & Protests in Albuquerque

Pedestrians are the hallmark of any political or other protest where many people gather in large groups to voice their opinions. Sometimes, intense emotions around the many issues discussed at protests in the United States and New Mexico lead to carelessness, or even recklessness by the people involved or the by-standers.

Fortunately, no reports of injuries have surfaced after Monday, April 29, 2024 at the University of New Mexico campus, when police detained at least 16 people after a large group of protesters formed on the campus. Read more about this event at KOAT.com.

All too often pedestrians who protest in motorways become victims of auto accidents which are entirely avoidable, and they are unlikely to have a strong claim for compensation if they, themselves, have acted without regard to safety.

Serious Motor Vehicle Accidents Happen, Often Due to Speeding

According to local news website, ABQraw.com, on the morning of April 19, 2024, at the intersection of Tramway and Indian School, APD’s fatal crash team responded to a crash scene.

Unfortunately, medical emergencies can happen at any time, and this driver may not have been able to prevent the accident before it happened. Other times, a driver is aware of a medical condition which makes driving dangerous, and he chooses to drive anyway. Each car accident case is unique, and an experienced local attorney who is familiar with our local roads can seek a claim for fair compensation for you.

On April 20, 2024, a fatal accident occurred between a motorcycle and a passenger vehicle, leaving one person dead. Stories likes these are common in Albuquerque and across the State of New Mexico.

At Cassidy Baca, P.C., we encourage drivers to stay safe, and whenever they are involved in an accident, seek legal advice immediately. The family of a deceased person who died as a result of a “wrongful death” may be entitled to recover fair compensation for their loss. Further, we advise those injured in an accident to avoid speaking with insurance companies until you have had an opportunity to seek legal advice about the accident. Remember, anything you say can, and WILL, be used against you in a court of law.

According to APD, officers are still looking for the red Mercedes CLA model with a yellow New Mexico license plate after it struck a pedestrian on April 19, 2024 at the intersection of Central Avenue and Yale Boulevard SE and then fled the scene. Our attorneys cannot make a perpetrator appear if he flees, but we can help investigate all avenues of potential recovery for your claim if you are hit by a vehicle while walking. Be sure to stay safe, be careful, avoid j-walking, and contact a legal professional who can help you make a claim for the compensation you deserve.

The family of a deceased driver may be entitled to make a claim, and should speak with an experienced local attorney. The causes of this accident described above are still being investigated.
