Why a Gallup firm for an Albuquerque case
If your crash happened on Interstate 40 west of the city, on the Navajo Nation, or at an Indian Health Service facility, the case turns on local facts and jurisdiction questions that most Albuquerque firms rarely see. Keeler & Keeler has worked those cases from Gallup for more than twenty years, and we regularly handle claims for Albuquerque clients whose injuries happened out west.
- Semi-truck crashes anywhere on the Interstate 40 corridor between Albuquerque and the Arizona line.
- Navajo Nation accident cases, including To'hajiilee and other Navajo communities near Albuquerque.
- Federal Tort Claims Act malpractice cases, which are filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
- Car accidents and wrongful death claims for families who live in Albuquerque but were hurt in the Four Corners.
Courts and hospitals we work with
Federal cases, including FTCA claims against IHS, are heard at the Pete V. Domenici United States Courthouse in Albuquerque. State-court cases from Bernalillo County are filed in the Second Judicial District Court. Seriously injured people from Gallup, Grants, and the Navajo Nation are often flown to UNM Hospital, the state's Level I trauma center, so we routinely work with Albuquerque medical records even when the crash happened two hours west.
The Interstate 40 corridor
From the Big I to the Arizona border, Interstate 40 carries the freight traffic that produces the region's worst crashes. Crashes near Laguna, Acoma, Grants, Thoreau, and Gallup involve different police agencies, different courts, and sometimes tribal jurisdiction. We know that stretch mile by mile.
