How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Curry County, NM?

In New Mexico, most people hurt in a car accident have three years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim in civil court. This deadline is set by the state’s statute of limitations. If victims miss this deadline, it generally means they lose the right to seek compensation, regardless of how strong the case may be.

The sooner a person begins to document what happened, the easier it typically is to preserve evidence, gather witness accounts, and build a clear picture of the crash.

Injuries from car accidents are not always obvious right away. Soft tissue damage, head trauma, and internal injuries can take hours or days to fully surface. It is important that victims seek medical attention promptly to protect their health and any future legal claim. A documented visit creates a record that connects your injuries to the crash. Waiting too long to see a doctor can create gaps that are difficult to explain later.

A car accident attorney can help clarify what the three-year window means for your specific situation and what steps to take in the meantime. It is also advisable to seek legal guidance promptly to avoid losing important evidence and giving damaging early statements to insurers.
