Statute of Limitations
New Mexico imposes a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under NMSA § 37-1-8. The state follows pure comparative negligence — you can recover damages even if you were 99% at fault, reduced by your fault percentage. New Mexico is an at-fault state with minimum liability coverage of 25/50/10 ($25K per person, $50K per accident, $10K property damage).
