Car Accidents in New Mexico

Every year, innocent people are harmed as a result of automobile accidents that are caused by negligent and reckless drivers. Unfortunately, many victims are left with physical and emotional pain and suffering. To make matters even more challenging, victims often face significant financial burdens that can make it difficult to move forward. In New Mexico, victims have the ability to pursue personal injury claims against those responsible.

In contrast to many other states, New Mexico operates on a pure comparative negligence doctrine. According to this legal framework, an individual is able to seek compensation for the damages that they face as a result of the accident. However, the amount of fault that they contributed to the accident will directly influence how much they are able to recover. If you contributed to your accident in any way, the amount of financial compensation that you can recover will be reduced based on the fault you shared. For example:

• If the other party is determined to be 100 percent at fault, you could potentially receive $100,000.
• If the other party is 70 percent at fault, and you are found to be 30 percent at fault, you might be entitled to $70,000.
• Even if you are 90 percent at fault, you may still be eligible for $10,000.

In our state, even if you were determined to be 99 percent at fault for the accident, you still have the ability to pursue compensation for the damages that were caused by another person involved in the crash.
