Navigating Personal Injury Law in New Mexico

Personal injury law is built on the principle of negligence. This means holding individuals, companies, or institutions accountable when their careless actions cause harm. Whether it’s a car crash, a workplace accident, or a slip and fall, the law allows victims to pursue compensation for their losses.

In both New Mexico and Texas, personal injury cases involve proving that:

  • A duty of care existed
  • That duty was breached
  • The breach caused your injury
  • You suffered damages as a result

Although these principles apply in both states, there are important differences to know:

  • New Mexico follows pure comparative negligence. This means you can recover damages even if you were mostly at fault, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
  • Texas follows modified comparative negligence. You cannot recover damages if you are found more than 50% at fault.

Understanding these laws is crucial when building a strong case.


Understanding Your Rights After an Accident

If you are injured in New Mexico or Texas, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage
  • Punitive damages (in certain cases)

Knowing your rights early helps protect your claim and ensures you do not settle for less than you deserve.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

At Chad Jones Law, we represent clients across New Mexico and Texas in a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

Some cases involve strict liability, where the responsible party can be held accountable even without proving negligence. Our team understands how to approach each case with the strategy it requires.


The Importance of Acting Swiftly

After an accident, quick action helps preserve your right to compensation. Evidence such as photos, medical records, and witness statements can fade or be lost over time.

  • In New Mexico, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the injury.
  • In Texas, the statute of limitations is two years.

Failing to act within these deadlines can result in losing your right to file a claim.


The Role of a Personal Injury Lawyer

A personal injury lawyer can be your strongest ally. At Chad Jones Law, our attorneys assist clients by:

  • Providing clear legal advice
  • Investigating and documenting claims
  • Negotiating with insurance companies
  • Representing clients in court when necessary

If insurance companies refuse to offer fair settlements, we are prepared to go to trial and fight for your rights before a judge or jury.


Building and Presenting Your Claim

Strong personal injury cases depend on thorough preparation. Our process includes:

Evaluating and Documenting Your Claim

We gather evidence, obtain medical records, calculate financial losses, and carefully review every detail to strengthen your case.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies

Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts. Our attorneys know their tactics and are prepared to counter them with strong advocacy.

Representing You in Court

When negotiations fail, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. Our trial experience and familiarity with courts in both New Mexico and Texas can be a critical advantage.
