01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in New Mexico?
New Mexico has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under NMSA § 37-1-8. The discovery rule applies to latent toxic exposure injuries, starting when the plaintiff knew or should have known of the injury and its connection to PFAS. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
New Mexico has PFAS contamination at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo, and Cannon Air Force Base near Clovis. Kirtland AFB already has a major fuel spill contamination issue, and PFAS from AFFF compounds the exposure risk for Albuquerque residents drawing from the same aquifer.
