New Mexico does not cap pain and suffering in ordinary injury cases. Malpractice damages are capped by provider type, with medical care left outside the cap, and pure comparative fault means your own negligence never bars the claim.
Enter your economic damages, pick severity, the defendant, and the fault split.
New Mexico has no caps on damages except for malpractice and government claims. In 2021 House Bill 75 raised the cap for independent providers to $750,000 with annual CPI increases, and set hospital and outpatient limits that rise to $6 million in 2026. Past and future medical care sits outside the cap.
In March 2026, House Bill 99 added the first punitive damages caps for malpractice. Claims against the government are limited by NMSA 41-4-19.
A local personal injury attorney can review your claim — many offer a free consultation.
