What Is the Statute of Limitations For Car Crashes in New Mexico?

In New Mexico, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases, including those resulting from car or truck accidents, is three years from the date of the accident. That means those hurt in these accidents must file a lawsuit within that deadline.

So, if you are injured in an accident, you have three years to bring your claim to court. If you miss this deadline, you may lose the right to pursue compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other damages related to the accident.

It’s important to note that some exceptions can affect this time limit. For instance, if the injured party is a minor, the statute of limitations may be extended. Additionally, if the accident involves a government entity, the time to file a claim may be much shorter, typically requiring a notice of claim to be filed within 90 days.

You should act quickly to ensure that all legal deadlines are met. Consulting with a Rio Rancho car accident lawyer can help ensure that you understand your rights and the time frames that apply to your case.

A lawyer can guide you through the claims process, gather necessary documentation, and make sure that all deadlines are met to avoid losing your opportunity for compensation.
