What you can expect from our legal team:
At every stage of your case, you remain supported, informed, and protected by our team.
We use every legal pathway available under New Mexico law and federal statutes to hold individuals, institutions, and government agencies accountable for elder abuse. The Collins & Collins team routinely relies on the Adult Protective Services Act, the New Mexico Civil Rights Act, and Section 1983 federal claims to expose systemic failures and enforce meaningful accountability.
These statutes allow us to pursue civil actions against state-run hospitals, publicly funded nursing homes, and other care facilities that violate an elder’s constitutional and statutory rights. In many cases, we have used Section 1983 to bring claims against government entities that failed to protect vulnerable elders in their care.
At Collins & Collins, P.C., our results reflect a deep commitment to holding negligent facilities accountable through focused, strategic litigation, not quick, low-value settlements. We’ve secured meaningful outcomes for families across New Mexico by building strong, evidence-backed cases that demand justice and real change inside abusive institutions.
Notable outcomes include:

We simplify complex legal matters by providing clear, concise, and accurate answers to your most pressing questions.
No. A successful elder abuse claim in New Mexico does not always require going to court. Many elder abuse lawsuits are resolved through settlements before trial, but we prepare each case to succeed in court if necessary.
It depends. If elder abuse occurred years ago but was never reported, you may still file a claim under New Mexico’s discovery rule if the harm was identified later. Legal timelines vary based on when the abuse was reasonably discovered.
To hire a New Mexico elder abuse lawyer, there are no upfront fees. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless your elder abuse case results in compensation through settlement or verdict.
Yes. You can file a civil elder abuse claim in New Mexico even if no criminal charges were filed. Civil claims focus on financial compensation and have a lower burden of proof than criminal prosecution.
Evidence that supports an elder abuse lawsuit in New Mexico includes medical records, witness statements, inspection reports, injury photographs, and caregiver logs. This documentation helps prove neglect or abuse occurred and supports legal accountability.
Recognizing the signs of elder abuse is the first step. The next and most important is asserting your loved one’s rights under New Mexico law. With clear legal guidance, families can move from quiet concern to decisive action, and from fear to accountability. Understanding your legal position opens the door to real protection, justice, and long-term change for the elder in your care.
