Can I file my personal injury case in Chaves County even if the accident happened elsewhere?
Venue rules in New Mexico allow cases to be filed in the county where the defendant resides, where the injury occurred, or sometimes where you reside.

Three years from the date of the accident or injury.

Missing these deadlines ends your legal options, so consult an attorney as soon as possible.
