What New Mexico workers’ comp provides

Under the New Mexico Workers’ Compensation Administration process you are entitled to reasonably necessary medical care, wage-replacement benefits when your injury keeps you from working (temporary total disability is generally two-thirds of your average weekly wage, within state limits), and permanent disability benefits for lasting impairment. If you are not receiving what New Mexico law provides, call (505) 896-3650.

Protect your claim

New Mexico law generally requires written notice of the accident within 15 days, so give that notice and keep a copy. Get medical care and say it happened at work. If your claim is denied or benefits stop, act promptly, because New Mexico’s deadlines are firm and a denied workers’ compensation claim can often be challenged with the right evidence.

Frequently asked questions

I work in a casino or hotel. Am I covered?
Hospitality and gaming workers are covered by New Mexico’s Workers’ Compensation Act when the injury is work related.

What if I am a part-time or tipped worker?
Coverage turns on whether the injury is work related, not on your hours or pay structure. Part-time, seasonal, and tipped workers can qualify.

What is the deadline to act after a denial?
In general, New Mexico gives you one year from the date benefits are refused or stopped to file a formal complaint. It is best to act promptly.
