If a hazardous condition causes an injury—such as wet floors, loose carpeting, or poor lighting—the victim may have grounds for a premises liability claim.

Frequently Asked Questions About Slip and Fall Claims

Slip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries. Below are answers to common questions about legal rights and compensation.

  • What should I do after a slip and fall accident?

    If injured in a slip and fall, seek medical attention immediately. If possible, document the hazard with photos, report the accident to the property owner, and collect witness information. Avoid making statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney, as they may try to minimize your claim.

  • How do I prove negligence in a slip and fall case?

    To prove negligence, you must show the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it. Evidence such as maintenance records, surveillance footage, and witness testimony can help establish liability and strengthen your case.

  • What types of compensation can I recover?

    Slip and fall victims may receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and rehabilitation costs. If the injury leads to long-term disability, damages may also cover future medical care and lost earning capacity.

  • Is there a deadline for filing a slip and fall claim in New Mexico?

    Yes, New Mexico has a three-year statute of limitations for slip and fall injury claims. If you fail to file within this period, you may lose your right to pursue compensation. Consulting an attorney early ensures compliance with legal deadlines.

  • Can I file a claim if I was partially at fault for my fall?

    New Mexico follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced if you were partially responsible for the accident. For example, if you were 20% at fault, your settlement may be reduced by 20%. Legal representation can help minimize liability and maximize your recovery.

You deserve power on your side of the bench.
