Injuries we see in and around Corrales

The rural and small-business character of Corrales, along with metro commuting, produces injuries such as:

  • Falls and tool injuries in small trades and property maintenance
  • Back, shoulder, and repetitive-strain injuries in small-business and service jobs

What New Mexico workers’ comp provides

The New Mexico Workers’ Compensation Administration process provides 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, subject to state limits), and permanent disability benefits for lasting impairment. New Mexico law also extends workers’ compensation coverage to farm and ranch workers. If you are unsure where you stand, 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 a copy. Get medical care and tell the provider it happened at work. If your claim is denied, act promptly, because New Mexico’s deadlines are firm and a denied workers’ compensation claim can often be challenged with the right evidence.
