FAQs
common New mexico injury questions
What types of personal injury cases do you handle in New Mexico?
We handle a wide range of cases including car accidents, truck wrecks, oil field injuries, workplace accidents, motorcycle crashes, wrongful death, premises liability, and catastrophic injury claims. If you’ve been hurt due to someone else’s negligence anywhere in New Mexico, our team can help.
How is New Mexico's personal injury law different from other states?
New Mexico follows a pure comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault, but unlike some other states, there is no threshold that bars you from filing a claim.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New Mexico?
The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in New Mexico is three years from the date of the accident. While that may sound like a lot of time, evidence can disappear and witnesses can become harder to locate, so it’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Do I need to come to your office to get started on my case?
No. We offer free consultations by phone and can handle much of the process remotely. If you need an in-person meeting, our Hobbs office serves clients across the state and our team is available to come to you if needed.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in New Mexico?
Nothing upfront. Cesar Ornelas Law works on a contingency fee basis for all personal injury cases in New Mexico. You pay nothing unless we win your case, so there is absolutely no financial risk in reaching out for help.
