New Mexico SCS Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
NM spinal cord stimulator 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 SCS burns or infection.
New Mexico State Spinal Cord Claims
When all parties reside in New Mexico, spinal cord stimulator 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 SCS malfunction claims.
The State of New Mexico follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a New Mexico spinal cord stimulator lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by Abbott Labs or Boston Scientific even if the plaintiff is up to 99% at fault. However, the nerve victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
10th Circuit Spinal Cord Claims in New Mexico
New Mexico is part of the Tenth聽Circuit of the federal court system, and individual spinal cord stimulator lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Pain management appeals are heard by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the nerve injuries are severe, SCS claims can be filed in this court against defendants nationwide.
However, federal spinal cord stimulator lawsuits filed in New Mexico may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a burn and infection Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order.
