Slip and fall lawyer New Mexico: your deadline

The first thing a New Mexico slip and fall lawyer checks is the clock. You have three years from the day you fell to file, under NMSA § 37-1-8.

Talks with the owner's insurer do not stop that clock. Only a lawsuit filed in court does.

How New Mexico splits the blame

New Mexico uses pure comparative fault. Your share of the blame lowers the award but never wipes it out. The rule is in state law.

Say a jury values the case at $40,000 and finds you 20 percent to blame. You would receive $32,000.

Public property in New Mexico

Claims against a city, county or the state here follow their own rules and paperwork. Call the same week you fall so nothing is missed.

What your New Mexico case is worth

The value comes from your bills, lost pay, how long you hurt, and the fault split above.

Answer four quick questions; the New Mexico rule is already set.

How this number is built

Bills plus lost pay, plus an assumed pain allowance of one and a half to five times the bills by injury. Then the state's fault rule. New Mexico cuts the award by your share of fault but never to zero. Policy limits, liens and future care are left out.

How New Mexico fall lawyers charge

Fall lawyers in New Mexico work on contingency. They take a share only if they recover money for you, and nothing if they do not.
