When you’ve been hurt in a motorcycle accident, you need more than just any lawyer—you need a battle-tested sword and shield fighting for your rights.
At Keller & Keller, we’ve been maximizing client settlements and delivering justice since 1936, and we’re not going anywhere. As your New Mexico motorcycle accident lawyer, we’ve spent over 80 years taking on insurance companies that try to stereotype and shortchange injured riders. We’ve recovered millions of dollars for our clients across New Mexico, Indiana, and Michigan. That’s not just a number—that’s thousands of families we’ve helped get their lives back on track after devastating motorcycle crashes.
Why You Need a New Mexico Motorcycle Accident Lawyer After a Crash
The aftermath of a motorcycle accident can turn your life upside down in an instant. Medical bills pile up, insurance companies pressure you to accept lowball offers based on unfair stereotypes about riders, and you’re left wondering how to put your life back together while still recovering from serious injuries. But here’s the truth—the insurance companies are already working against you, and they’re counting on you not having experienced legal representation.

Navigating Complex
Legal Claims
Motorcycle accidents aren’t like regular fender-benders. These cases involve severe injuries, complex liability issues, and insurance companies that often harbor unfair biases against motorcyclists. Without proper representation, you’re fighting an uphill battle against adjusters who assume riders are reckless risk-takers. Our New Mexico motorcycle accident lawyers know how to counter these prejudices and build cases that focus on the facts, not stereotypes.
Understanding Insurance Company Tactics
Insurance companies operate with one goal: paying as little as possible. When it comes to motorcycle accidents, they often try to blame the rider regardless of the actual facts. They’ll point to speed, inexperience, or reckless driving even when the evidence clearly shows another driver caused the crash. As your New Mexico motorcycle accident lawyer, we’ve seen every trick in their playbook and know how to fight back.
Understanding Statute of Limitations
In New Mexico, you generally have three years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, if government entities are involved—such as poorly maintained roads or defective traffic signals—you may have much shorter notice requirements. Miss these deadlines, and you lose your right to compensation forever, no matter how strong your case is.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in New Mexico
The actions you take immediately after a motorcycle accident can make or break your case.
See What Your Case Is WorthMove to a safe location away from traffic and check for injuries.

See a doctor right away, as adrenaline can mask serious injuries.
Take photos & videos of injuries, vehicles, the scene, skid marks, road hazard, and collect witness information.
Collect contact and insurance details from all drivers and bystanders involved.
Notify your insurance company about the accident.
Keep your helmet, jacket, and other protective equipment as evidence of the impact and your safety-conscious approach
Save all medical bills, repair estimates, and accident-related documents.
Politely decline insurance adjuster requests for comment.
Refrain from posting your accident on social accounts.
The sooner we start working, the better we can protect your interests and counter unfair stereotypes

The Hard Truth
New Mexico Motorcycle Accident Statistics That Demand Action
The numbers don’t lie—New Mexico has a serious motorcycle safety problem, and here’s what gets us fired up as your motorcycle accident lawyer.
New Mexico recorded 54 motorcycle fatalities in 2022, representing a 17% increase from 2020’s 46 deaths. With a motorcycle fatality rate of 95 deaths per 100,000 registered motorcycles, New Mexico substantially exceeds the national average of approximately 65 per 100,000. These aren’t just statistics—they represent riders and families whose lives were cut short by preventable accidents.
Per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists are 28 times more likely to die and 4 times more likely to be injured than passenger car occupants. In New Mexico, 61.1% of fatally injured motorcyclists weren’t wearing helmets (33 of 54 deaths in 2022), directly contributing to the severity of injuries and deaths that could have been prevented.
New Mexico ranks 7th worst nationwide for traffic deaths at 20.7 per 100,000 population, compared to the national average of 12.2. The state ranks 2nd highest nationally for per capita fatal injury costs at $11,274, with motor vehicle crashes—including motorcycle accidents—resulting in more than $4 billion in annual costs to New Mexico.
Leading Causes of New Mexico Motorcycle Accidents
Most motorcycle accidents are preventable, which is what makes them so maddening. Understanding these causes helps us build stronger cases as your New Mexico motorcycle accident lawyer.
Motorcycle Accident Injuries We Represent
Motorcycle accidents don’t cause minor bumps and bruises—they cause life-changing injuries that turn families upside down.
Compensation Available for New Mexico Motorcycle Accident Victims
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to various types of compensation.
Economic Damages
These are quantifiable financial losses, including:
- Medical expenses (past, current, and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage to your motorcycle and gear
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs
- Home modification expenses
- In-home care costs
Non-Economic Damages
These more subjective damages compensate for:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement and scarring from road rash
- Loss of consortium (impact on marital relationship)
Punitive Damages
In rare cases involving extreme recklessness or intentional misconduct, New Mexico courts may award punitive damages designed to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior.
Wrongful Death Damages
When motorcycle accidents result in fatalities, surviving family members may recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and the pain and suffering of their loved one before death.
