Overview of Albuquerque Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice refers to the professional negligence of medical providers that leads to harm or injury to a patient. It occurs when a healthcare professional fails to meet the expected standards of care or medical procedures, resulting in injury, worsening of a medical condition, or even death.

Medical malpractice can happen in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes. However, not every negative outcome in medical care is necessarily a result of medical negligence.

Types of Medical Malpractice

When it comes to medical malpractice, there are various types of claims that can be addressed. Here are some common types of medical malpractice:

  • Failed Diagnosis: Failure to diagnose critical conditions is a serious type of medical malpractice where a healthcare provider fails to appropriately detect and diagnose a severe health condition in a timely manner. This failure can lead to significant harm or even death to the patient.
  • Delayed Diagnosis or Treatment: Delayed diagnosis or treatment occurs when there is a delay in correctly identifying the patient’s condition or providing necessary medical treatment. This delay can result in the progression of the illness or injury.
  • Misdiagnosis: Misdiagnosis is another type of medical malpractice that involves a healthcare provider inaccurately diagnosing a patient’s condition. This can lead to unnecessary treatments, delayed or incorrect treatments, and worsening of the patient’s health.
  • Surgical Errors: Surgical errors are particularly alarming as they encompass a range of mistakes made during surgical procedures. These errors can include operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, nerve damage, and anesthesia errors.
  • Birth Injuries: Birth injuries occur when medical professionals fail to provide appropriate care during childbirth, resulting in harm to the mother or baby. These injuries can range from mild to severe, including brain damage, paralysis, and even death.

These are just a few examples of the types of medical malpractice claims that can occur. Each case is unique and requires careful evaluation to determine the extent of negligence and subsequent harm caused to the patient. Our Albuquerque personal injury attorneys will take the time to examine your case and will determine all liable parties.

Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice Claims in New Mexico

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, malpractice victims must file their claim within three years from the date of the alleged malpractice or from the discovery of the injury, whichever comes first. If the claim is not filed within this time frame, the court may dismiss it, and the individual may lose their right to seek fair compensation.

However, there are certain exceptions to this general rule. Minors who have been harmed by medical negligent actions have until their 21st birthday to file a valid claim, regardless of the date of the alleged malpractice. [1]

If a person is incapacitated or mentally incompetent at the time the malpractice occurs, the three-year time limit is tolled until they regain capacity. This means that they will have three years from the date they regain the capacity to file their medical negligence claim.
