Can You Sue a Drunk Driver in New Mexico?
Yes. In New Mexico, you can file a civil lawsuit against a drunk driver in addition to any criminal charges they may face. If you were injured due to their recklessness, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses, including pain and suffering and punitive damages in some cases.
Can a Bar or Restaurant Be Held Liable?
New Mexico has a “Dram Shop Law,” which allows victims to hold establishments accountable if they served alcohol to someone who was visibly intoxicated and that person caused an accident. Zinda Law Group can investigate whether a third party contributed to the crash.
Compensation May Include
- Emergency room and medical expenses
- Lost income and future earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Vehicle repairs or replacement
- Wrongful death damages if you lost a loved one
