Where to File in New Mexico
New Mexico Statutes § 41-2-2 governs wrongful death claims with a 3-year statute of limitations. New Mexico imposes no cap on wrongful death damages. Bernalillo County District Court (Albuquerque) handles the highest volume of New Mexico wrongful death filings. New Mexico's oil and gas industry in the Permian Basin, tribal land vehicle accident issues, and rural highway fatality rates generate significant wrongful death case volume.
