Understanding New Mexico’s Medical Malpractice Laws

New Mexico law provides a framework for pursuing medical malpractice claims, including specific statutes of limitations and requirements for expert testimony. Our attorneys are adept at navigating these legal requirements to build a strong case and advocate effectively on your behalf.

Statute of Limitations

In New Mexico, the statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice claim is generally three years from the date of the injury or from when the injury was discovered. It’s crucial to act promptly to ensure your case is filed within the legal timeframe.

Expert Testimony
