Deadlines for New Mexico Slip and Fall Cases
In New Mexico, like all states, you have the right to file a compensation claim for your losses. However, your detractors can get away with their negligent actions based on a technicality. The statute of limitations is a civil deadline that limits the amount of time you have to recuperate money related to the harm sustained. For premises liability claimants in New Mexico, the general timeline is three years from the date of your injury.
However, be aware that claims against the government have 90-day notice requirement and, if you satisfy the 90-day notice requirement, a two-year statute of limitations.
Missing this civil deadline will result in a denial of your insurance claim or dismissal of your civil court lawsuit. Do not watch this deadline come and go. You deserve the money you need to pay for the costs that the insurance company denies you.
Grano Law Offices, P.C. will manage the deadlines that apply to your case every step of the way. However, it is critical that you contact our office as soon as possible to avoid missing your chance.
