Welcome to the Samuel I. Kane Law Office, Personal Injury Attorney in Las Cruces, NM

No one plans to get injured. But what you do post-injury can make all the difference.

Think about it: Did you want to be a party to a car accident? Did you seek out your personal injuries? Of course not. But accidents do happen. Whether driving your car or truck, riding a bicycle, or simply walking about as a pedestrian, someone else’s reckless or negligent behavior can cost you.

Your first goal, of course, is to seek treatment for your injuries and work toward being made whole again. That treatment can be costly. Fortunately, you may have a right to be compensated for your injuries and for time lost at work, as well as mental and emotional anguish. The right attorney can help you reach a settlement, so you can get back to healing.

Common Personal Injury Questions

How common are personal injuries?

An estimated 39 million people require medical attention due to personal injuries every year. By some calculations, personal injuries are the third-leading cause of death in the United States—and the leading cause of death in people under the age of 45.

Within the category of personal injury, car accidents (including truck, bus, and motorcycle accidents) and slip-and-fall events are the most common. These kinds of accidents can lead to slipped discs, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, muscle strains, and more.

New Mexico and Texas both have their fair share of personal injury cases:

  • New Mexico has been ranked the third-worst state for careless drivers.
  • New Mexico has almost twice the national average of car accidents per 100,000 people.
  • Texas has the most fatal car accidents out of the 50 states, with over 3,300 fatal car crashes in 2020 alone.
  • Slip-and-fall accidents account for over 1 million emergency room visits a year.

Far too many victims in personal injury cases delay seeking the help of a personal injury attorney because they are unsure whether they have a case. But then the medical bills begin to pile up, and the stress of paying them while still recovering becomes an added burden.

If you have been injured in an accident, it never hurts to contact a competent attorney. An attorney will look at the details of your accident and help you determine what damages if any, you can claim. A good personal injury attorney will be in a better position to review the merits of your case—and to figure out all the ways in which you should be compensated.

During your initial consultation with an attorney (which is free, with no obligation), you should be as complete and comprehensive as possible – the more your attorney knows, the better equipped they are to help you.

  • What happened before, during, and after the accident?
  • Was there a police report? What did it say?
  • What did the doctors and medical staff say about your injuries?
  • Was the other party injured? Was anyone else with you injured?
  • What is the prognosis for your recovery?
  • Have you been unable to work? How much future income do you stand to lose?


As a general rule, any accident where there is a death or injury, or where there is property damage of more than $500, is an accident that should be considered by an attorney. Remember: If you consult with an attorney, they may or may not take the case—either way, you will not be worse off. But if you never consult with an attorney, you will always miss out on 100% of the damages you are entitled to by law.

After a car accident, slip-and-fall accident, or similar personal injury, your first priority should be to seek medical attention. Waiting to do so can allow the injury to get worse.

That said, it is worth contacting a personal injury attorney as soon after your accident as possible. Many attorneys can refer you to medical professionals for ongoing treatment after an accident. And the sooner you contact an attorney, the easier it will be to get the details of the case while they are still fresh in your memory (and in the memory of any witnesses to the accident).

Some attorneys will charge consultation fees even before they determine if you have a good case. But the best personal injury attorneys do not do this. They will offer a free consultation and charge only a percentage of the settlement that you win. In other words, you shouldn’t have to pay a dime out of your own pocket. The attorney gets paid when you win. It’s that simple.

Here at the Law Office of Samuel I. Kane, we take this idea to heart. You have already been through the trauma of an accident, and you face mounting medical bills. The last thing you need to worry about is paying more out-of-pocket to talk to a car accident attorney.

Our formula is simple: If we don’t win, you don’t pay.

And if you are facing difficult out-of-pocket expenses because an insurance company is denying benefits for a legitimate claim, we will defend your rights and protect you from corporate intimidation. The first step to claiming a fair and just settlement is just a phone call away.

If you need a personal injury lawyer here in Las Cruces, New Mexico, or the surrounding area, you’ve come to the right place.

New Mexico is notorious for truck accidents, and underrides often cause the most devastating damages of all.
