New Mexico: Insurance Policy Limits for Motor Carriers

SUMMARY OF AMICUS BRIEF FILED 3/26/2015


The New Mexico Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and stated: “We hold that Northland limited its liability to $1,000,000 for each accident regardless of the number of insured vehicles involved. Accordingly, we reverse the Court of Appeals and affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Northland.” TIDA, American Trucking Association, and the New Mexico Trucking Association submitted an amicus brief requesting that the Supreme Court reverse. Congratulations. Our brief writers, Jane Laflin of Butt Thornton in Albuquerque and Paul Yarbrough of Hall and Evans in Denver, deserve a round of applause.
