Where would my case be heard?
New Mexico has Cannon AFB near Clovis, Holloman AFB near Alamogordo, and Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque — three major Air Force installations with documented PFAS contamination. Kirtland AFB has had additional fuel contamination issues and is within Albuquerque's metropolitan area, creating potential exposure for a large urban population.
New Mexico personal injury claims are governed by NMSA § 37-1-8, providing a 3-year limitations period. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.). Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, Cannon AFB near Clovis, and Holloman AFB near Alamogordo are the primary military PFAS contamination sites. Kirtland's fuel spill and PFAS contamination have affected the city of Albuquerque's Ridgecrest area groundwater, creating large urban population exposure.
