When we get sick, we trust doctors, nurses, hospital personnel and other medical professionals to properly diagnose and treat us. These medical professionals are human and sometimes they make mistakes, misjudgments and miscalculations that harm their patients. According to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 1.5 million people in the U.S. are harmed because of medical mistakes every year. Of these, 33 percent are related to misdiagnosing a condition.

New Mexico Medical Malpractice Law

People who are harmed by doctor mistakes are legally entitled to compensation for their injuries, losses, pain, and suffering. Examples of common medical malpractice claims include:

  • Giving a patient the wrong type of medicine
  • Anesthesia errors
  • Birth injuries
  • Failure to properly diagnose or promptly treat a condition
  • Making mistakes during surgery

When a medical mistake happens, the injured person will probably require more treatment, which can be expensive. Some people might even become permanently disabled.
