Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in New Mexico?
In New Mexico, you generally have three years from the date of the injury or one year from the date you discovered the injury to file a lawsuit, whichever is earlier. There is also a maximum limit of six years from the act of malpractice for most cases. It is important to act quickly to preserve your legal rights.
Do I need a certificate of merit to file a malpractice case in New Mexico?
Yes, New Mexico law requires that your attorney file a certificate of merit with the complaint. This certificate must include an opinion from a qualified medical expert stating that there is a reasonable basis for the claim. This rule helps filter out non-meritorious cases early in the process.
What damages can I recover in a New Mexico medical malpractice case?
You can recover economic damages like medical expenses and lost income, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. New Mexico does not place a cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases. Punitive damages may also be available in cases of gross negligence.
