Legal Question in Personal Injury in New Mexico

Any person may recover damages not to exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) in a civil action in a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction from the parent, guardian or custodian of a child when the child has maliciously or willfully injured a person or damaged or destroyed property, real or personal, belonging to the person bringing the action. This is New Mexico law. While no one can predict a judge or jury ruling, from the facts you present it appears the acts you describe do not rise to the level of malicious or willful injury or damage. A parent is not otherwise civilly liable for the actions of a child.
