Every personal injury claim is different, and there are several exceptions to the three-year statute of limitations. For example, if the accident victim was under the age of 18 at the time of the incident, he or she has until one year after turning 18 to file a lawsuit, pursuant to N.M. Stat. ยง 37-1-10.
On the other hand, if you have a case against the New Mexico State Government or one of its employees, you have just 90 days to notify the proper state entity of your claim and then two years to file the lawsuit.
If you sustained serious injuries in a preventable accident that someone else caused, turn to an injury lawyer to schedule an initial consultation with an Albuquerque personal injury attorney.
