Personal injury law in New Mexico encompasses a variety of situations where an individual suffers harm due to another party's negligence or wrongdoing. This can include accidents, intentional acts, and cases of strict liability, such as product defects. Understanding your rights and the legal process is crucial when pursuing a personal injury claim.

‍

Statute of Limitations: In New Mexico, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally three years from the date of the injury. It is vital to act quickly to ensure your rights are protected and your case is filed on time. Delaying could result in losing your chance to pursue compensation.

‍

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