Healthcare providers have a duty to provide patients with the same level of care that a reasonably competent healthcare provider would provide in the same or similar circumstances. If a healthcare provider fails to meet this standard of care, and the patient is injured as a result, the healthcare provider may be held liable for medical malpractice.

Why You Shouldn't Wait to Take Action
If you or someone you love was the victim of medical malpractice, it is important to seek legal representation as soon as possible. In New Mexico, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases is three years from the date of the injury or from the date the injury was discovered, or should have been discovered, with reasonable diligence. If you fail to file a lawsuit within this time frame, you will lose your right to take legal action.
How Much Is My Case Worth?
One of the most common questions we receive from clients is, "How much is my medical malpractice case worth?" Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question.
The value of a medical malpractice case will depend on a variety of factors, including the severity of the injuries, the cost of the necessary medical treatment, the impact the injuries will have on the victim's ability to work, and more.
Available damages in a medical malpractice case can include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement
- Disability
- Loss of consortium
