What damages can I sue for after losing a family member to a fatal accident in Albuquerque, NM

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I can provide some general information about some allowed damages in New Mexico.

For the death of your husband, you would be pursuing a claim under New Mexico's Wrongful Death Act. Generally, under the Act, you can pursue compensatory and punitive damages. Compensatory damages are meant to compensate for any medical care, funeral expenses, lost income and earning potential, loss of financial support, and mental anguish. Punitive damages can be awarded against the defendant to punish their actions and deter similar future actions. Punitive damages are only available if you can prove the defendant's actions were malicious, grossly negligent, or reckless, such as driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, or extreme speeding/street racing. You may also have a loss of consortium claim where you can recover damages related to the loss of your relationship, companionship, sexual relationship, and household services.
