[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Receiver's Name] [Receiver's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Cross claim and Answer Dear [Receiver's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to convey my cross claim and answer in relation to the ongoing legal matter between myself and [Opposing Party's Name]. Please consider this letter as my formal response in accordance with the laws of New Mexico. Cross claim: As a party to the lawsuit, I hereby assert a cross claim against [Opposing Party's Name]. This cross claim seeks to assert my rights and legal arguments against any potential liability arising from the underlying incident leading to the lawsuit. The cross claim is made based on the following grounds (please consult the attached document "Cross claim Exhibit" for detailed information): 1. Negligence: I allege that [Opposing Party's Name] acted negligently, breaching their duty of care, which directly contributed to the incident leading to the lawsuit. I maintain that their actions or lack thereof were the primary cause of the damages suffered. 2. Contribution and Indemnity: I assert that if I am found liable to the plaintiff, [Opposing Party's Name] should be held partially or wholly responsible based on their concurrent negligence or other misconduct. I seek contribution and indemnity from them to the extent of their proportionate fault. Answer: In response to the complaint filed by [Opposing Party's Name], I deny the allegations made against me. I affirmatively state the following defenses to the claims asserted against me (please refer to the attached document "Answer Exhibit" for specific responses): 1. Lack of Negligence: I deny any negligence on my part and assert that my actions were reasonable under the circumstances. I was not the cause of the incident and should not be held liable for any damages. 2. Proximate Cause: I contend that the alleged injuries suffered by the plaintiff were not directly caused by any action or omission on my part. There existed intervening factors or third parties responsible for the damages. 3. Comparative Negligence: If it is found that I had any degree of fault pertaining to the incident, I assert that the plaintiff's negligence contributed substantially to their own injuries. I request a comparative negligence analysis to accurately apportion liability. Please note that this letter is a preliminary response, and I reserve the right to assert additional defenses and make further cross claims as more information becomes available during the course of the litigation. I kindly ask you to consider this communication as an invitation to open discussions to explore possible settlement options that may resolve this matter amicably and without the need for protracted litigation. If you are interested in pursuing such dialogue, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
