Local context
New Mexico legal environment
New Mexico uses a pure comparative fault system. 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 crashes each present unique jurisdictional issues.
Most personal injury claims are subject to a three-year statute of limitations. Verify the deadline and the proper court with a New Mexico attorney.
