NEW MEXICO GUIDE 06
New Mexico Stacking & Multiple Insurance Policies
Stacking analysis asks whether more than one independently applicable coverage may respond to the same loss. New Mexico UM/UIM law makes policy structure, insured status, rejection documents and anti-stacking provisions especially important.
- Identify every potentially applicable policy and limit.
- Determine whether each policy independently covers the claimant and occurrence.
- Review anti-stacking, other-insurance and anti-duplication provisions.
- Apply current New Mexico statutes and controlling appellate authority.
