1. Wrongful Death Statute:

  • The New Mexico Wrongful Death Act allows certain family members to file a lawsuit when a person’s death is caused by the wrongful act, neglect, or default of another.
  • This statute provides a legal framework for recovering damages for the losses suffered by surviving family members.

2. Eligible Beneficiaries:

  • In New Mexico, eligible beneficiaries who can file a wrongful death claim typically include the deceased’s surviving spouse, children, and parents.
  • If there are no surviving spouse, children, or parents, the personal representative of the deceased’s estate may file the claim.

3. Causes of Wrongful Death:

  • Wrongful death can result from various causes, including:
    • Car accidents
    • Truck accidents
    • Medical malpractice
    • Workplace accidents
    • Product liability

    • Medical expenses incurred before death
    • Funeral and burial expenses
    • Loss of financial support and future earnings
    • Loss of companionship, comfort, and guidance
    • Pain and suffering of the deceased (if applicable)

5. Statute of Limitations:

  • The statute of limitations for wrongful death claims in New Mexico is generally three years from the date of the deceased’s death.
  • It’s crucial to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure that the claim is filed within the appropriate timeframe.

6. Proving Liability:
