Albuquerque Medical Malpractice FAQ

How much time do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in New Mexico?

Medical malpractice is considered a form of personal injury under New Mexico law. As such, it often has the same three-year statute of limitations as other personal injury claims. Some unique restrictions could apply to certain cases, depending on the type of malpractice and who is a defendant, though.

Does a bad outcome constitute medical malpractice?

A bad outcome to medical treatment is not automatically medical malpractice. If the medical practitioner did everything that another medical professional would have likely done in the same set of circumstances and the outcome is bad, then medical malpractice did not occur. Don’t shy away from asking questions with your doctor or talking to an attorney if you have a bad medical outcome, though. An inquiry or investigation could reveal that some form of unacceptable negligence played a part in that outcome.

What is informed consent?

Informed consent is established when a patient has had a chance to get full and honest information about a proposed medical treatment plan. For example, a surgeon should explain to a patient the benefits, risks, side effects, and alternatives for a surgical procedure. The patient should also be given ample opportunity to ask for more information. When informed consent is not established, a “bad outcome” to a medical procedure or treatment plan might constitute medical malpractice.
