What We Handle
Every practice area, for Downtown Albuquerque
The full firm is available to Downtown Albuquerque clients — the same people on your matter from the first call to the last.
Downtown Albuquerque is the central business district of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is where a significant number of the city's highrise buildings sit, and it is the center of government and business for the Greater Albuquerque metropolitan region. Those are facts about the district, not credentials. If you were hurt here, the question is liability, negligence, and damages — and whether the first settlement offer from the at-fault party's adjuster is even close to the claim.
People hurt Downtown often feel pressure to give a recorded statement before they have a lawyer. That statement is evidence. It can lock in a version of the crash while you are still sore, still on pain medication, or still unsure what the imaging will show. Runion Personal Injury Lawyers - Albuquerque Office takes personal injury claims by appointment, including online, on a contingency fee so you are not writing a check to find out what the file is worth.
The office requires appointments and is wheelchair accessible at the entrance, parking, and restroom. Downtown sits among East Mountains, Northeast Heights, Westside, South Valley, Rio Rancho, Bernalillo County, Sandoval County, Valencia County, Santa Fe, Santa Fe County, and Torrance County as places clients already travel between. One review of the firm put it this way: "Curiel and Runion are the best personal injury lawyers! They are very patient and explain everything clearly. Highly recommended!" — Abigael Perez. Patience is the point after a crash. The process is slower than a same-day check, and that is usually why the check is larger.

How we work in Downtown Albuquerque
Car Accident Claims
Car accident claims Downtown often start with congestion, turning traffic, and an adjuster who wants a recorded statement the same afternoon. The claim is still bodily injury, a demand letter, and policy limits. Contingency fee keeps you from paying to start that work.
Truck Accident Claims
Delivery and commercial trucks move through the central business district all day. Truck accident claims can involve commercial liability well beyond a personal auto policy. Catastrophic injury files need a careful map of who employed the driver and which policy limits apply.
Motorcycle Accident Claims
Motorcycle accident claims in Downtown traffic are negligence cases first. Lane position and visibility arguments show up early. Bodily injury records, not the other driver's story, are what a demand has to rest on.
Rideshare Accident Claims
Uber accident claims and Lyft accident claims are common where people are picked up for work and events Downtown. The coverage layer depends on whether the app was on and what the trip status was. Policy limits on the rideshare side are not always what passengers assume.
Pedestrian & Bicycle Accident Claims
Pedestrian and bicycle accident claims fit this district. Crossing among highrises and government buildings does not require a landmark tale to make the injury real. Bodily injury, negligence, and pain and suffering are the elements; photos of the intersection help, invented drama does not.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents Downtown are premises liability in offices, lobbies, and sidewalks tied to a property. Medical documentation has to match the event. We do not claim a fall happened at a named building unless your own record says so.
Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist Claims
Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims matter when a Downtown driver has thin coverage and your injuries do not fit inside it. UM coverage and UIM coverage sit on your own policy. Separate counsel is useful because your carrier's incentive is still to pay less.
Hit and Run Accident Claims
Hit and run accident claims after a Downtown collision often convert to uninsured motorist claims. Get the report, keep treating, and do not wait for a plate that may never surface. A demand letter still goes to a carrier — yours, if that is the only policy left.
Wrongful Death Claims
Wrongful death claims from a Downtown crash are contingency fee damages cases for the family. The district's role as a government and business center does not change the law. What changes the file is liability proof and the policies that respond.
Free Consultation
A free consultation can be online or onsite by appointment. Downtown clients who cannot easily sit in a waiting room can still do a case evaluation. Bring the adjuster contact, any recorded statement, and the first medical visit notes.
Personal Injury
Personal injury Downtown is not a different practice area. It is the same claim: bodily injury, medical bills and reductions, pain and suffering, and a settlement that has to survive liens. Small injury cases belong in that conversation when the harm is real and documented.
Downtown Albuquerque questions, answered
Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance company after a Downtown crash?
You should not give a recorded statement to the at-fault insurer before a case evaluation if you can avoid it. Adjusters use those recordings to freeze a version of the crash and your symptoms before treatment is complete. If you already gave one, bring it to the appointment so we can work from the actual words, not from memory.
How do attorney fees work if my Downtown case settles versus if it goes further?
Personal injury lawyers typically work on a contingency fee, a percentage of the recovery rather than an hourly bill. In the market, that percentage is often discussed around a third, and it can be higher if a case moves toward trial — but this page will not invent this firm's number. Ask in the free consultation how the fee agreement reads, whether costs are separate, and what happens if you reject an offer.
I was hit as a pedestrian Downtown. What does the claim actually include?
A pedestrian accident claim is a bodily injury claim against the at-fault party, and sometimes against UM coverage if that driver is uninsured. Medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering are the usual damages categories when the record supports them. There is no formula that multiplies bills by a magic number; documentation and liability drive value.
Will medical liens and health insurance subrogation take most of a Downtown settlement?
Medical liens and subrogation can reduce net payout. That is why bill reductions and lien negotiation are part of settlement disbursement, not an afterthought. An attorney's job includes showing you the gross number and the net number, not only the headline settlement.
