    At-fault

Local context

Legal landscape of New Mexico

New Mexico applies a pure comparative fault framework. Your recovery could be lowered by your share of fault, though you are not shut out of compensation automatically. Matters tied to extractive industries, tribal lands, and I-40 crashes each raise distinct jurisdictional questions.

A three-year filing window usually covers personal injury claims. Confirm the deadline and the correct court with a New Mexico attorney.
