When something isn’t right, we’re here to help make it right.

Personal Injury

Injured in an accident? You deserve answers and accountability.

A serious injury can disrupt your health, your livelihood, and your family’s future. Whether you’ve been hurt in a car accident, suffered a fall on unsafe property, or experienced a workplace injury involving another party’s negligence, we help you understand your rights and pursue compensation for your losses.

We handle personal injury claims involving:

  • Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents

  • Workplace accidents involving potential third-party liability
  • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
  • Serious and catastrophic injuries
  • Wrongful death

Our approach is personal, thorough, and focused on helping you move forward.

Medical Malpractice

When medical care goes wrong, experience matters.

We trust healthcare professionals to provide safe, appropriate care. When preventable medical errors cause serious injury, patients and families deserve answers.

Attorney Erin Marshall brings more than 20 years of experience in healthcare quality improvement, hospital practices, and public health leadership to the evaluation of medical negligence claims. This background provides a distinctive perspective on medical standards, institutional responsibilities, and the systems that influence patient safety.

We evaluate medical malpractice claims involving:

  • Birth injuries and maternal healthcare negligence
  • Delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis
  • Surgical and treatment errors
  • Emergency care and stroke-related negligence
  • Pediatric medical errors
  • Other serious injuries resulting from negligent medical care

We combine a deep understanding of healthcare systems with careful legal analysis and a commitment to patient advocacy.

New Mexico Civil Rights

Your constitutional rights matter. So does accountability.

The New Mexico Constitution protects fundamental rights, including due process, equal protection, and freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures.

Under the New Mexico Civil Rights Act, individuals may have a legal remedy when a public body or someone acting under its authority violates rights protected by the New Mexico Constitution’s Bill of Rights.

Through our civil rights practice, we evaluate potential claims involving:

  • Unlawful searches, seizures, and detention
  • Violations of due process or equal protection
  • Government retaliation involving protected constitutional rights
  • Constitutional violations involving law enforcement
  • Potential violations by public schools, corrections agencies, or other governmental bodies

Civil rights cases require careful evaluation of the constitutional right involved, the conduct of the government actor, and the resulting harm.

We work to ensure our clients’ voices are heard and that public institutions are held accountable when the law provides a remedy.

In New Mexico, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally three years from the date of the injury. However, there can be exceptions, especially in cases involving medical negligence or wrongful death. It’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you meet all deadlines and preserve your rights.

At Firecrest Injury Law, we generally work on a contingency fee basis. This means you do not need to pay any upfront legal fees. Instead, our fees are based on a percentage of the compensation we recover for you. If we do not win your case or achieve a settlement, you do not owe us any legal fees. For a detailed discussion about the cost and fee structure, please contact us directly to schedule a consultation.

For your initial consultation, it’s helpful to bring any relevant documents related to your case. This may include medical records, police reports, insurance information, and any correspondence related to the injury. Having these documents on hand will help our team better understand your situation and provide more accurate advice.

Not all injury cases require going to court. Many cases are resolved through settlements or negotiations with insurance companies. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may need to go to trial. Erin Marshall, your trusted injury attorney in New Mexico, will guide you through each step of the process, whether it involves settlement negotiations or courtroom proceedings, to ensure your interests are fully represented.

The time it takes can vary widely depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the extent of the injuries, and the willingness of the parties to settle. Simple cases might be resolved within a few months, while more complex cases, especially those involving extensive medical issues or significant damages, could take a year or more. We will work diligently to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve.

It can include several types of damages such as:

  • Medical Expenses
  • Lost Wages
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Property Damage
  • Loss of Enjoyment

The specific amount of compensation depends on the case’s details, including the severity of the injury and the impact on your life.
