Personal injury law in New Mexico covers a range of situations where individuals suffer harm due to another party's negligence or wrongdoing. This can include accidents, intentional acts, and strict liability cases, such as defective products. Knowing your rights and the legal process is essential when pursuing a personal injury claim.

‍

Statute of Limitations: In New Mexico, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of the injury. It’s crucial to act promptly to protect your rights and ensure your case is filed on time. Delaying could result in losing your opportunity to seek compensation.

‍

Comparative Negligence: New Mexico follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning if you are found partially at fault for your injury, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. For instance, if you are deemed 20% at fault for an accident, your recovery will be lowered by that same percentage. Having skilled legal representation is vital to effectively argue your case and minimize your liability.
