New Mexico Dog Bite Laws
New Mexico does not have specific dog bit statutes; however, a dog owner
is liable for a person’s injuries when they knew the dog was vicious
or they knew of a previous incident where the dog had demonstrated vicious
behavior. If the dog owner says they did not know that their dog was vicious,
the court will assess whether they should have known.

Victims of dog bites and attacks are not only compensated for their medical
expenses, but can be compensated for psychological trauma and counseling,
permanent and temporary disability, loss wages, plastic surgery to correct
scarring, and pain and suffering. At times, punitive damages may be awarded
if the dog owner was extraordinarily negligent. Our
Albuquerque personal injury lawyer can thoroughly review your case and determine all of your legal options
to develop an effective case strategy for you.
