How New Mexico Personal Injury Laws Affect Your Case

New Mexico law sets important rules for personal injury claims. Injured people generally have three years from the date of an injury to file a personal injury claim. However, exceptions and different deadlines can apply depending on the circumstances.

The state also follows a pure comparative fault system. If you share responsibility for an accident, you can still pursue compensation for your damages. However, your recovery may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

What a Personal Injury Claim Can Recover for You

The compensation available in a personal injury case depends on the severity of your injuries, financial losses, and other circumstances. These damages may include:

• Medical Expenses – Compensation may cover past and future medical treatment related to your injuries, including rehabilitation and ongoing care.
• Lost Wages and Earning Capacity – A claim may account for income you lost while recovering and reduced ability to earn in the future.
• Pain and Suffering – These damages address physical pain, emotional distress, and other non-financial effects of an injury.
• Property Damage – Compensation may include the cost to repair or replace a vehicle or other damaged property.
• Wrongful Death Damages – When negligence results in a death, surviving family members may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim.

The damages available depend on the facts of your individual case. Schedule a free consultation with our personal injury lawyers in Albuquerque to discuss your losses and legal options.
