Wrongful Death 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.
Who can bring a wrongful death claim in New Mexico?
New Mexico wrongful death claims are filed by a personal representative on behalf of the statutory beneficiaries — typically the spouse, children, or other family in a set order. A participating law firm can explain how that works in your family's situation.
