We have worked with countless patients who have been impacted by medical malpractice but are unsure of exercising their rights as a victim. Our credentials speak for themselves, with a long record of successes in medical malpractice injury cases. We understand the pain and suffering associated with these injuries and want to be sure that our clients are fully apprised of their rights when it comes to medical malpractice.
When a doctor, other healthcare provider or hospital fall below industry minimum standards, they have committed medical malpractice. There are so many ways that a provider can commit medical malpractice and cause injury or long-term illness. For instance, while undergoing a procedure with a practitioner, the anesthesia provided may not be adequately administered, resulting in anesthesia awareness. This is characterized by patients who regain consciousness during surgery, unable to tell the practitioner they are awake but feeling the procedure as it progresses. This form of medical malpractice is not only physically painful but also can cause emotional scarring.
Another example of a medical malpractice injury is a birth injury, exemplified by practitioners who were either improperly prepared or incompetent in assisting with the birth of a new baby. If a practitioner uses excessive force during delivery or delays routine procedures and manuevers, this can cause damage and lead to a medical malpractice injury.
The administration of unnecessary care is also a form of medical malpractice that may result in injury. This happens when a doctor or hospital is after the money, not interested in your well-being. There are many other ways that you can be injured in the course of treatment when a practitioner is negligent or careless in the way they administer care. When this happens, you need the help of an expert medical malpractice injury victims’ rights lawyer.
As a medical patient, you have the right to safe and effective care from a qualified practitioner. A medical malpractice injury contravenes this right and puts you at risk from professionals who should know better. If you have been victimized by medical malpractice, you have the right to competent legal guidance to help you file a claim.
You have the right to be treated with respect both in the context of your medical care and when working with a New Mexico medical malpractice injury victims’ rights attorney. You have the right to privacy and consideration on both ends of the spectrum as well. The intrusion on your rights from a care provider is one of the reasons it is essential to seek qualified legal counsel to help you get justice for your victimization.

We will conduct a full case review to determine how we can help.

We will prove the practitioner was negligent, causing the injury in question, and the other damages you or a loved one suffered. We focus on upholding community standards and quality medical care for patients throughout the state of New Mexico. We will fight for all damages related to your physical injuries, pain, suffering and mental anguish and any lost wages, additional medical services and changes to lifestyle necessitated by the injury.
In New Mexico, generally you have three years from the date of your injury to file a claim. However, this time limit can be as short as two years if filing suit against a governmental practitioner or hospital. As such, we recommend filing sooner rather than later to showcase the urgency of your case and the need that can be filled by compensation for your injuries.
A medical malpractice injury can change your life in myriad ways, from exacerbating an existing health issue to causing a different one entirely. In some cases, the damage may be permanent and can impact other areas of your life.
