Construction Season…Danger Season.

Construction tends to be more dangerous than other industries.  Did you know that the rate of injury for workers in the construction industry is approximately two-thirds higher than the overall average for all workers?  Ken Wagner Law wants you to recognize the inherent hazards and to properly prepare to eliminate those dangers.

What are some common construction accidents?

1.  Falling from a scaffold

2.  Exposure to noxious gases

3.  Objects that fall from great heights

4.  Accidents involving heavy equipment

5.  The possibility of electrocution

Every year, about 15 construction workers out of 100,000 are killed on the job.  This does NOT begin to account for the thousands of injuries that have occurred while working.  Construction accident attorney Ken Wagner and his staff will aggressively represent you anywhere in The Great Southwest.  Call Ken Wagner Law of Albuquerque at (505) 242-6300.

Dealing with Insurance Companies.

You’ve seen the myriad of TV ads for insurance companies.  Their pockets are very, very, deep.  News flash…you are not always in good hands!  To say the least, dealing with insurance companies after you have suffered a personal loss can be frustrating and difficult.  You deserve peace of mind.

All insurance companies are REQUIRED by law to investigate, negotiate, and settle claims while demonstrating good faith.  If they deny a claim without giving a reason to your satisfaction, they may have violated that tenant.  Another common occurrence is that they offer far less money than the claim deserves.

Whom do you turn to?  You find a law firm in The Great Southwest that has gone toe-to-toe with insurance companies for decades on YOUR behalf.  That firm is Ken Wagner Law located in Albuquerque, NM.  No offense, but you should never try to fight insurance companies without someone in your corner.  Call Ken Wagner Law at (505) 242-6300.

Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer.

Here are some questions we hope will help you –

1.  How are services billed?

2.  Will they be responsive from start to finish?

3.  How will communication between you and me (us) take place?

These are all practical issues with which you must feel comfortable before making this important decision.  When you retain the services of The Ken Wagner Law Firm you get the legal expertise that comes from decades of winning important personal injury cases throughout The Great Southwest.  See for yourself.  Contact The Ken Wagner Law Firm in ABQ at (505) 242-6300.

What to do in the Immediate Aftermath of a Car Accident.

There are over six million auto accidents in America each year.  Many of them occur on the roads of The Great Southwest.  Hopefully, if you are involved in one of them it will not call for legal expertise in its aftermath.  Sometimes an accident between vehicles results in injuries to the passengers inside of them.

Here are some steps to take immediately after an accident –

1.  NEVER drive away from the scene until you are instructed to do so.

2.  Set up flares and keep your flashers on.

3.  Call the police.

4.  Keep an accurate record including that good old cell phone for pictures.

5.  Exchange all information with the other parties.

Above all else…remain calm!  This will lay you and your friends and family in good stead later.  As soon as you are able, please call the law offices of Ken Wagner Law.  They have been helping car accident victims throughout The Great Southwest for decades.  Make an appointment at our Albuquerque office by calling (505) 242-6300.

Truckin’ around The Great Southwest.

With the coming of summer there are more big rigs on the road going faster than ever on the highways of The Great Southwest.  You and/or loved ones are traveling hither and yon in an automobile or on a motorcycle.  Sometimes you have an unfortunate encounter with a fully-loaded 80,000 pound 18-wheeler!

When the dust settles, it is likely that the insurance company representing the tractor-trailer or other commercial vehicle has hired what is known as an accident reconstruction expert and has used its “deep pockets” to collect evidence which they will then use to defend the commercial driver and its company.

These seem like overwhelming odds, but they are not!  Not when you call Ken Wagner Law located in Albuquerque and serving the vast area around The Great Southwest.  Ken and his team defend the “little guy” in cases like this.  Tap into their decades of experience with truck accidents by calling Ken Wagner Law at (505) 242-6300.
