Strict deadlines may apply. We handle cases on contingency—no fee unless we win. Free consultation. Medical malpractice claims in New Mexico are subject to a strict statute of limitations specifically for birth injury. If you do not file your claim within this legal timeframe, you may lose your right to seek compensation forever. At Dominguez Law, we believe that financial concerns should never prevent you from seeking justice. That is why we handle all medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no upfront costs and no attorney fees unless we successfully recover a settlement or jury verdict for your family
No parent expects their child to suffer a birth injury. Yet every year in New Mexico, preventable medical mistakes during pregnancy and delivery leave families facing devastating consequences.
A birth injury can occur before, during, or shortly after delivery. While some complications are unavoidable, many are caused by failures to monitor, delayed C-sections, mismanaged labor, or other forms of medical negligence.
You can’t undo what happened — but you can hold the responsible parties accountable.
Birth injury cases are complex and hospitals aggressively defend them. That’s why you need an experienced medical malpractice attorney who understands how to investigate these claims and act before New Mexico’s statute of limitations expires.
At Dominguez Law, we are prepared to stand up to powerful medical institutions and fight for the full compensation your family deserves. No Fee Unless We Win
Some injuries suffered by mothers and babies during the birthing process may be minor, but others can have permanent effects or even lead to fatality. Unfortunately, any type of birth injury can leave the mother or newborn with lasting trauma.
Some common types of birth injuries that affect infants in New Mexico may include:
If a birth injury has affected you or your family in New Mexico, Dominguez Law can conduct a thorough, independent investigation into your case. Our goal is to identify all of the parties who could be at fault for the damages you have suffered, including doctors, physician assistants, nurses, and even the hospital itself.
When a birth injury occurs, hospitals and doctors rarely admit fault. Instead, they often claim the injury was “unavoidable” or “genetic.” At Dominguez Law, we know better. We hold negligent medical providers accountable by uncovering the truth and fighting for the full compensation your family needs to move forward.
A birth injury can create a lifetime of unexpected costs. We work with medical and economic experts to calculate the true lifetime value of your case, ensuring you aren’t left footing the bill for a doctor’s mistake.
In New Mexico, we fight to recover damages for:
Hospitals have aggressive legal teams. You need an Albuquerque birth injury lawyer who isn’t afraid to litigate. We offer a Free Case Evaluation to help you understand exactly what your case is worth.
*No Fee Unless We Win*
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the “standard of care” expected during pregnancy or delivery. Common signs of negligence include a doctor failing to perform an emergency C-section, mismanaging fetal distress, or failing to monitor a mother’s high blood pressure. Because these cases are medically complex, the only way to be certain is to have an experienced Albuquerque birth injury lawyer review your medical records with a qualified expert.
In New Mexico, the timeline to file a claim can be complicated. While standard medical malpractice claims generally have a three-year limit, cases involving minors may have different rules. However, waiting is dangerous. Evidence can disappear and hospital staff memories fade. It is critical to check the New Mexico Statute of Limitations with an attorney immediately to ensure your child’s right to compensation is protected.
At Dominguez Law, we operate on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket. We cover all the costs of investigating the case and hiring medical experts. We only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for your family. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.
This is a common defense used by hospitals to avoid liability. Do not take the hospital’s word as the final truth. We work with independent medical specialists to determine if the injury could have been prevented with proper care. If a mistake was made, we hold them accountable, regardless of what the hospital’s legal team claims.
Possibly. Because birth injuries like Cerebral Palsy or HIE (Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy) may not be fully diagnosed until a child misses developmental milestones, the “discovery rule” may apply. If you suspect your child’s developmental delays are linked to their birth, contact us today for a free evaluation.
