Serving Rio Rancho and Sandoval County as a Medical Negligence Attorney Rio Rancho NM

Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider departs from the accepted standard of care and that departure injures a patient. Rio Rancho and Sandoval County patients receive hospital-based care from providers throughout the area, and when that care falls short of what is required, affected patients and families have the right to pursue a claim. Case types we handle for Rio Rancho patients include:


  • Surgical errors and post-operative complications.
  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of serious conditions.
  • Birth injuries, including oxygen deprivation and delivery errors.
  • Medication errors and pharmacy miscommunication.
  • Anesthesia mistakes before, during, or after a procedure.



Before filing a lawsuit against a qualified independent provider, most New Mexico claims must first pass through the New Mexico Medical Review Commission (NMMRC), a mandatory screening panel under the state’s Medical Malpractice Act. The statute of limitations for qualified providers is three years from the date of the negligent act. Missing that deadline generally ends the claim permanently, regardless of when the harm was discovered. If you believe you were harmed by substandard care, consult a medical malpractice attorney Rio Rancho NM as soon as possible.
