There are many parameters that define injury, and therefore it is characterized as a physical injury; however, when injury occurs at work, the consequence could be loss of income, panic, and instability. The injured worker faces several challenges determining whether to pursue their claim for benefits and often feels alone in the process.
Your protections as an injured worker in New Mexico stem from our Workers' Compensation laws; unfortunately, obtaining benefits can feel like a second job, even more so because your pain is compounded by the stress of dealing with an uncooperative insurance provider.
At NM Workers' Compensation Attorneys LLC, we have helped hundreds of injured workers in Albuquerque to understand their legal options and pursue the benefits they deserve. We do not believe in legal fluff—just straightforward, honest, and educated help from attorneys who know the system inside and out.
What We Do: Helping Injured Workers Navigate the System
Workers' Compensation Claims Representation
Filing a claim sounds simple until one has to deal with endless paperwork, insurance delays on receiving medical treatments, or a vague denial.
As experienced attorneys for workers' compensation, we help injured employees in Albuquerque file the workers' compensation claim correctly, receive medical treatment, and protect their salary lost during recovery.
Be it a sprain or a major injury with long-term effects, we will stand by your side and ensure the process works for you and not against you.
Alternative Dispute Resolution & Denied Claims
If your claim is denied, or you are pressured to return to work earlier, don't forget—panic is not your friend; neither is complacency!
Insurance companies often are the first to dispute injuries to deny benefits or undervalue medical conditions.
Our workers' compensation claims attorneys oppose these tactics with fact, evidence, and decades of legal experience.
Long-Term & Permanent Injury Consultations
Not every work injury heals fast, and a few never heal at all.
If your work ability is permanently impaired, we help you pursue long-term compensation, look for options for job retraining, or negotiate structured settlements.
As knowledgeable compensation attorneys, we ensure that forward-thinking claims proceed with caution and insight.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What if my employer says my injury doesn't qualify?
Your employer or their insurer may say your injury is not covered. Nevertheless, it may well be. If the injury occurred while you were working (even if not on your employer's premises) you could still be eligible for injury compensation. You should consult with a workers' compensation attorney before you accept such a denial.
What if I am already receiving benefits? Should I speak to a lawyer?
Yes! Many times, your benefits might be underpaid, cut off prematurely, or settled for far less than what your injury is truly worth. A consultation with a law firm on workers' compensation will help ensure that you do not miss out.
Can I be terminated for filing a workers' compensation claim
You cannot be fired just for reporting a workplace injury. However, your employer is not bound to retain your job forever. If they made your job available when you were medically cleared to return and did not put you back, you may have a claim for additional compensation.
What kinds of injuries are covered by Workers' Compensation?
A very broad range of injuries are covered by New Mexico workers' compensation, including:
- Falls and fractures
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Mental health conditions caused by work
- Respiratory problems caused by exposure
- Worsening pre-existing conditions

Do I deserve the benefits?
Yes, if you can show an injury that results from your work, our team shall provide workers with compensation and legal help to evaluate your case.
