The Moment Everything Changes
A car accident happens fast — but the impact can last for weeks, months, or even years. One minute you’re heading down US-70 or leaving downtown Portales. The next, you’re dealing with pain, insurance calls, missed work, and mounting bills.
If you’re in this situation right now, we want you to know something: you’re not alone, and you have rights.
At Larsen & Mender, we help people across Clovis, Portales, and the surrounding communities recover the compensation they deserve after a crash. You don’t have to fight the insurance companies by yourself — and you shouldn’t have to guess what your case is worth.
Insurance Companies Move Fast — But You Shouldn’t Have to Settle
After an accident, it won’t take long before insurance adjusters start calling. They may act friendly, even helpful — but make no mistake: their goal is to close your case quickly and cheaply.
If you’ve been injured, here’s what they won’t tell you:
- Your medical expenses may be much higher than they seem now.
- You may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and ongoing care.
- Once you accept a settlement, you likely can’t go back — even if new symptoms or costs arise.
The truth is, you don’t have to accept the first offer — and you shouldn’t until you understand what your case is truly worth.
What Your Case May Include
Every car accident is different. Some result in minor bruises, others in life-changing injuries. Whether you were rear-ended in Clovis or involved in a rollover outside Portales, our firm will carefully evaluate your case to pursue damages that may include:
- Medical bills (current and future)
- Lost wages or reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment of life
If negligence — like distracted driving, speeding, or DUI — played a role in your crash, we’ll work to prove it and hold the other party accountable.
Why Local Representation Matters
There’s a difference between hiring a big-city law firm that advertises in every zip code — and working with a legal team that understands life in Eastern New Mexico.
We know the roads. We know the local hospitals. We know what it takes to get fair results from insurance companies operating in Curry and Roosevelt Counties. Most of all, we know what justice looks like here — and we don’t stop until we deliver it.
Whether you’re a long-time resident, an ENMU student, or stationed at Cannon AFB, Larsen & Mender is ready to stand by your side.
Don’t Wait to Protect Your Rights
The longer you wait to speak with an attorney, the harder it may become to gather critical evidence and build a strong case. And in New Mexico, the clock starts ticking the moment your accident happens — the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years.
But you don’t need to navigate this process on your own. That’s what we’re here for.
