Where to File in New Mexico
New Mexico gabapentin cases are filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico (Albuquerque or Las Cruces) or in New Mexico district courts. Bernalillo County District Court in Albuquerque handles complex litigation. New Mexico follows pure comparative fault, allowing recovery regardless of plaintiff's negligence percentage. The state does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases. New Mexico's 3-year SOL and pure comparative fault create a plaintiff-friendly environment.
