Medical Malpractice claims in New Mexico have a number of important deadlines and requirements. The most important and quickest deadline that often arises is the notice requirement under the New Mexico Tort Claims Act. <br /><br />In cases against governmental entities, the first important deadline for a notice of claim runs in only 90 days for personal injury and six months for wrongful death. In claims against the government, the statute of limitations is only 2 years instead of the normal 3 years. Because many hospitals, clinics, urgent care, emergency rooms and other medical providers in New Mexico are run by state, county and local governments, these deadlines come up quite frequently. <br /><br />There are other requirements as well that are unique to medical malpractice claims. It is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible if you or a loved one may have been harmed by medical malpractice. These deadlines are real and they are serious. Missing one will bar your claims completely.<br /><br />CollinsAttorneys.com
