New Mexico Uber/Lyft Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
NM Uber/Lyft assault lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit New Mexico, and 2) the severity of sexual assault injuries.
New Mexico State Uber-Lyft Assault Claims
When all parties reside in New Mexico, Uber/Lyft assault lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (NM Courts Website). The New Mexico State Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for rideshare company claims.
The State of New Mexico follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a New Mexico Uber/Lyft lawyer can recover damages for sexual assault even if the plaintiff is up to 99% at fault. However, the passenger’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
10th Circuit Uber-Lyft Assault Claims in New Mexico
New Mexico is part of the Tenth Circuit of the federal court system, and individual Uber/Lyft assault lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Rideshare appeals are heard by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the sexual assault injuries are severe, claims can be filed in this court against drivers nationwide.
However, federal Uber/Lyft lawsuits filed in New Mexico may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a sexual assault Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 10th Circuit Uber/Lyft assault compensation.)
