Dog Bite FAQ
Common questions
Is this a law firm?
No. NM Legal Help is a legal advertising website. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Your inquiry may be shared with a participating New Mexico law firm for review.
What does a case review cost?
Requesting a case review through this website is free. A participating law firm will explain any fees during your consultation.
How long do I have to file a claim in New Mexico?
New Mexico generally allows three years from the date of injury for personal injury lawsuits — but claims against a government entity require written notice within just 90 days under the Tort Claims Act. This is general information, not legal advice. A participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
Does it matter that the dog never bit anyone before?
In New Mexico it matters a lot — with no dog bite statute, liability generally requires showing the owner knew or should have known the dog was dangerous, or was otherwise negligent. Prior complaints, leash-law violations, and warnings all help. A participating law firm can review what evidence may exist. This is general information, not legal advice.
