Legal snapshot

Ranges vary by claim type. Confirm the date that applies to you with a participating attorney.
Auto system
At-fault
No-fault states often start with PIP benefits. At-fault states usually look first at who caused the wreck.

Local context
New Mexico's legal landscape
New Mexico follows pure comparative fault, so your damages may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not automatically barred from recovery. Cases involving extractive industries, tribal lands, and I-40 accidents raise unique jurisdictional questions.
Many injury claims in New Mexico have a three-year filing deadline. A New Mexico attorney can help confirm the deadline and the appropriate venue.
