Understanding Personal Injury Funding in New Mexico
Pre-settlement funding is essentially an advance on the settlement money you anticipate receiving from your personal injury claim. Think of it as financial breathing room during a tough period—an option that can prevent you from taking a lowball offer just because you’re strapped for cash.
Unlike a conventional loan, pre-settlement funding comes with no monthly payments or credit checks. Plus, it’s non-recourse, meaning repayment hinges on a successful outcome in your lawsuit. If you lose, you don’t pay us back.
New Mexico’s legal landscape presents its own nuances, especially with comparative negligence laws that allow partial fault plaintiffs to still recover damages (see the New Mexico Code on Comparative Negligence). This can directly affect the value of your case and, in turn, the amount of funding you may qualify for. Whether you’re 10% or 60% at fault, we’ll work with your attorney to find a funding amount that aligns with realistic settlement expectations.
New Mexico-Specific Personal Injury Laws and Regulations
Statute of Limitations
According to NMSA 1978, § 37-1-8, you usually have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in New Mexico. Missing this deadline could mean forfeiting your right to seek compensation.
Comparative Negligence
In the Land of Enchantment, you can still pursue damages even if you bear a portion of the blame—your award is just reduced by your percentage of fault. This flexible system can be advantageous, but it also creates unique variables when calculating settlement values.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM)
A large number of New Mexico drivers are uninsured or underinsured, making UM coverage crucial. Dealing with a UM claim can delay settlements, but pre-settlement funding offers a way to cover immediate bills while the insurance negotiations unfold. For more background on UM coverage in the state, visit the New Mexico Office of Superintendent of Insurance.
Eligibility and Case Strength for Pre-Settlement Funding in New Mexico
Qualifying for funding through Tribeca Lawsuit Loans is straightforward:
- Active Lawsuit: You must have an ongoing personal injury case.
- Legal Representation: You need an attorney who can confirm the legitimacy and estimated value of your claim.
- Strong Merits: We look at the evidence of liability and potential settlement value.
We’re not interested in your credit score or employment history. Instead, we collaborate with your lawyer to see if the facts support a favorable settlement. New Mexico’s joint and several liability rules (NMSA 1978, § 41-3-1) can come into play if more than one party bears responsibility. If multiple defendants share blame, a single defendant could be on the hook for the entire judgment if others can’t pay. These details can influence our funding assessment and the amount you receive.
Types of Personal Injury Cases Funded in New Mexico
Every personal injury case comes with its own twists and turns. At Tribeca, we provide funding for a wide range of lawsuits, including but not limited to:
- Car Accidents
- Workplace Injuries
- Slip-and-Fall Incidents
- Oilfield and Construction Accidents
- Medical Malpractice
- Wrongful Death
- Police Misconduct and Civil Rights Violations
For instance, if you were injured in an oilfield accident near the Permian Basin, you might face a long road to recovery with expensive medical treatment. We understand the complexities of these high-stakes cases and are here to help you maintain financial stability along the way.
How Pre-Settlement Funding Addresses Critical Needs
While you wait for your case to settle or go to trial, everyday bills don’t stop. Here are some ways pre-settlement funding can help:
- Cover Medical Bills and Rent: Rather than relying on high-interest credit cards or payday loans, you can use the funds from Tribeca to keep the lights on and cover essential living costs.
- Pay for Ongoing Treatments: If your injuries require surgeries or long-term therapy, having access to immediate cash ensures you can stick to the care plan your doctor recommends.
- Maintain Your Mental Well-Being: Financial stress often leads to anxiety. Knowing you can pay your bills provides peace of mind, freeing you to focus on healing and your legal battle.
If you find yourself juggling rising expenses, let us help shoulder the load. Reach our team at 866-388-2288 or start an application online.
Interest Rates and Transparency
We believe in clear, upfront terms. Tribeca charges simple interest—generally between 2% and 4% per month—so your repayment doesn’t skyrocket due to compounding. Even better, interest stops accruing the moment your case concludes, meaning you won’t be punished for court or insurance delays.
We also keep things straightforward:
- No Hidden Fees: You won’t find any surprise costs buried in the fine print.
- No Monthly Payments: Repayment only happens when you win or settle.
- Structured Settlements: If you’re set to receive periodic payments, we can still help you gain access to funds immediately.

Medical providers can file liens to ensure they get paid from your eventual settlement. We factor these liens in when calculating your funding, so you can still receive adequate cash flow. - Will pre-settlement funding slow down my case?
Not at all. We partner with your lawyer for necessary documents and updates, but we don’t involve ourselves in legal strategy or negotiations. - Can I receive more funding if my case takes longer than expected?
Yes, additional funding may be available if you encounter new financial needs or if the legal process drags on. - How does New Mexico’s comparative negligence rule affect the amount I can borrow?
