Q: Does the three year NM.Statute of Limitations on car accidents be subject to tolling when injuries become clear late
Statute of Limitations has passed but the discovery date
A: A New Mexico attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I do not believe those circumstances would serve to toll the statute of limitations. Tolling is usually based on reasons such as the claimant being an infant at the time, or being incapacitated in some manner. There is also a factor of credibility, where courts could be skeptical of injuries not being apparent sooner. But this is only my individual opinion. It's possible other attorneys could see things differently. The most reliable way to answer your question would be to discuss with attorneys who practice in New Mexico. You could reach out to attorneys to discuss in further. I hope you and everyone involved in the accident are okay. Good luck
