I refused and he then literally body slammed me outside on the pavement. Several people witnessed it. I am a female and this was a man . I suffered from left shoulder felt like it was sprained and had bruises all on my arm and soreness on my head
A: I notice you are from Fort Worth but you are asking the question in New Mexico. The statute of limitations in New Mexico is three years, so you still have time. I will not state with certainty what it is in Texas, but it could be two years, if it happened in Texas I would recommend consulting an attorney there immediately. If it happened in New Mexico, I would recommend contacting a New Mexico attorney to discuss, either myself or someone else you may find on Justia.
