01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in New Mexico?
NMSA 1978 § 37-1-8 provides a 3-year limitations period for personal injury actions. New Mexico courts apply the discovery rule, tolling accrual until the plaintiff discovers or should discover the mesh-related injury and causation. No statute of repose applies to New Mexico product liability claims. A lawyer can confirm yours.
3 years from discovery of mesh-related injury and causation
Cases typically originate in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico (Albuquerque) before transfer to MDL 2846 in S.D. Ohio.
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.
