Personal Injury law in New Mexico
New Mexico injury law gives families a longer window and some distinctive rules.
- Filing deadline: New Mexico gives you longer than most states — generally three years from the injury — with a 90-day notice deadline when a government entity is involved.
- Fault: New Mexico follows pure comparative negligence, so sharing some of the blame reduces your recovery rather than ending your claim.
- Damage caps: An ordinary New Mexico injury case is not capped; medical-malpractice and government claims have their own separate limits.
- Multiple defendants: New Mexico generally applies several liability, with some exceptions.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
We handle personal injury claims on a contingency basis for qualifying cases — you pay nothing up front, and a fee applies only if we recover for you. The initial review is always free, and fee terms are confirmed in a written agreement.
How long do I have to file a claim in New Mexico?
Deadlines vary by state and by the type of claim, and they can be short — especially when a government entity is involved. Because a missed deadline can end a claim, the safest step is a free review right away.
What should I do right after an accident?
Get medical care, document everything, keep records, and be cautious about giving recorded statements to insurers before you speak with an attorney.
