When you visit a licensed medical practitioner, you expect the highest quality of care. You expect your treatment to reduce symptoms, bring ease and facilitate a full recovery. When you experience physical and/or emotional pain and suffering, injury or worse, you deserve compensation.
A medical malpractice claim may be your best option for recovering damages.
The New Mexico Medical Malpractice Act makes no distinction between care that was delivered for a medically necessary procedure versus an elective procedure. That means medical malpractice claims may be brought against plastic and cosmetic surgeons as well as practitioners delivering preventative care, such as dentists performing routine dental exams and cleanings.
While no medical practice area is immune from negligent practitioners, medical malpractice claims are most commonly filed for:
Birth and obstetrics (injuries to the mother or infant during labor and delivery)
Surgical errors
Diagnostic errors
Prescription drug errorsA number of medical malpractice claims may arise simply because the practitioner did not deliver sufficient patient education or follow protocols for patient safety or privacy.
