Frequently Asked Questions
Can I file my personal injury case in Taos 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. If you live in Taos and were injured in Rio Arriba or Mora County, there may be options. Alex will advise you on the most strategic venue for your specific case.

What is the deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in New Mexico?
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.
