What Is the New Mexico Tort Claims Act?

The New Mexico Tort Claims Act (NMTCA) is a state law that outlines when and how individuals can seek compensation if they are injured or suffer damages because of the negligence of a government agency or public employee.

Normally, government entities are protected by sovereign immunity, meaning they cannot be sued. The NMTCA creates specific exceptions to this rule. It allows people to file claims for certain incidents—such as accidents involving city buses, government vehicles, unsafe public buildings, or hazardous roads—when negligence is involved.
