Where to File in New Mexico
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.
