New Mexico Dog Bite Laws

New Mexico does not have a specific dog bite statute, but dog owners can be held liable under:

• Negligence laws – If the owner failed to act responsibly
• “One bite” rule – If the dog had a history of aggression or previous attacks

If a dog owner knew—or should have known—that their dog was dangerous and failed to prevent the attack, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim.
