Experienced New Mexico Personal Injury Attorney
At Buchanan Law Firm, LLC we have aggressively and compassionately fought for the rights of personal injury victims for over 20 years. Attorney Deena Buchanan knows firsthand the ways that a personal injury can change your life—she was herself the victim of someone else’s careless act. She’s also served as defense counsel in personal injury claims, so she knows what to expect from insurance companies and their lawyers and can take proactive steps to protect your rights.
She’s a proven trial lawyer, with experience serving as lead trial counsel on a number of multi-million dollar personal injury claims, including wrongful death actions. She’s held in high regard by judges, clients, and other attorneys for her poise and composure at all times.
Though Deena has successfully represented clients in more than 20 states, she concentrates her personal injury practice on claims arising in New Mexico. She has a deep knowledge of the laws and legal process in New Mexico, as well as the court systems and the ways judges try personal injury cases. We have a physical office in Albuquerque, but can meet with you in person anywhere in the state.
We know that your claim is unique. We’ll take the time to learn the details, so that we can take the appropriate steps to get the outcome you seek. We offer a free initial consultation to most individuals with a potential personal injury claim. For a private meeting, call our offices at 505-596-4987 or contact us online.
Our Personal Injury Practice
When you hire us to help you seek compensation for losses suffered in an accident, we’ll start by conducting a full investigation of the facts and circumstances of your injury. We’ll travel to the scene of the accident, if appropriate, and we’ll work closely with expert witnesses, such as accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals and financial planners, to prepare and present the most convincing arguments for your full recovery.
We handle a wide range of personal injury claims, including cases involving:
- Motor vehicle accidents, involving cars, trucks, motorcycles and mass transit accidents, as well as dram shop and social host liability claims after drunk driving accidents
- Medical malpractice, including surgical error, birth injuries, and failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis
- Oil field accidents
- Prescription drug injury claims
- Premises liability, or slip and fall claims
- Nursing home neglect and abuse
- Construction accidents
- Accidents involving explosions
We will help you pursue damages for lost wages and income, loss of companionship or consortium, loss of enjoyment of life, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. We handle all types of personal injury claims, from soft-tissue trauma to serious and catastrophic loss, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury, burns, broken bones, permanent scarring and disfigurement, and amputation or loss of limb. We also represent surviving family members in wrongful death claims.
We can represent you individually, but also have the experience, skill, knowledge and resources to handle class action claims.

This case involved extensive expert testimony on all aspects of the client’s care, both by hospital administration, hospital employees, and contractors who were involved in her treatment.
Semi-truck negligence caused wrongful death. This case involved a semi-truck driver who was intoxicated on illegal substances and killed our client. The key to this case was both aggressive discovery work, and understanding the trucking laws that regulate truck drivers and motor carriers, so we could prove how reckless it was to put the driver on the road that day.
Semi-truck negligence caused catastrophic injury. This case involved a semi-truck driver who lost control of his vehicle in a high-traffic area, causing devastating injuries to our client.

Semi-truck and corporate negligence caused traumatic brain injury. Our client suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of the defendant’s negligence in parking a commercial vehicle. The key to this case was understanding trucking regulations and local ordinances at play to show how the situation should have been handled safely.
Semi-truck causing wrongful death. This sad case involved the tragic death of our clients when a semi-driver was high on illegal substances.
