Workers’ Compensation Lawyer in Rio Rancho, NM

Rio Rancho is one of New Mexico’s fastest-growing cities, anchored by advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and a busy service and retail economy. It is home to Intel’s Fab 11X, one of the largest semiconductor plants in the world, along with major employers like Presbyterian Rust Medical Center and a constant stream of new construction. Those industries put people to work in clean rooms, on hospital floors, on job sites, and in warehouses, and all of them carry injury risk. Dunn Law Offices helps injured Rio Rancho workers pursue the benefits New Mexico law provides.

What New Mexico workers’ comp provides

The New Mexico Workers’ Compensation Administration process provides medical care for your injury, wage-replacement benefits when you cannot work (temporary total disability is generally two-thirds of your average weekly wage, subject to state limits), and permanent disability benefits for lasting impairment. If your benefits have stopped or you are not getting 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 report it in writing and keep your copy. Get medical care and tell the provider it happened at work. If your claim is denied, move 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 was hurt in a manufacturing or clean-room job. Do I have a claim?
Manufacturing injuries, including repetitive-strain and chemical-exposure injuries, can be compensable when they are work related. We can review your situation.

What if the insurer says my injury is not work related?
That is a common reason claims are denied, and it can often be addressed with the right medical evidence. Bring us your denial letter and we will take a look.

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.
