ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.-Civil cases in New Mexico are speeding up as the pandemic push the trials online.
Heather Hansen, personal injury attorney at Roadrunner Law Firm, said since proceedings are all done virtually, by phone or computer, there s no excuse for these cases not to happen.
“It was very important in the beginning of the pandemic that we figure out a way to keep cases moving and not have everything at a standstill because the collection agencies didn t slow down, said Hansen.
The New Mexico Supreme Court announced certain civil cases can resume back inside the courtroom by July 19.
