What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s acts or failures to act deviate from the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. Common examples include:
- Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to correctly diagnose a condition in a timely manner.
- Failure to Properly Treat: Incorrectly treating a patient or failing to provide necessary medical care.
- Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside the patient.
- Over-surgerizing: performing surgery when not medically necessary and/or implanting medical devices in a patient when not necessary.
- Birth Injuries: Harm caused to a mother or baby during childbirth due to negligence.
- Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or contra-indicated medications to a patient causing harm to the patient.
Medical malpractice often occurs because a health care provider or corporate hospital places profit over patient safety.
If you believe you or a loved one has been a victim of medical malpractice, it is crucial to act quickly. New Mexico law places strict time limits, known as statutes of limitations, on filing medical malpractice claims. In most cases an injured party has three (3) years from the date of the medical malpractice to file a lawsuit.
