Albuquerque Medical Malpractice Attorney

Injury or Illness Medical Malpractice Cases

When we entrust our health to the medical profession, we expect that they will be actively working to improve our condition, and that we are safe in their hands. In some tragic cases, an individual will suffer from a doctor error or a negligent act resulting in serious injury or illness. All medical professionals have the duty to provide the expected level of care in any medical situation, and when they fail to do so, and an injury, illness or loss of life occurs, they have breached their duty to the patient. If you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, it is crucial that you have a skilled Albuquerque medical malpractice attorney assist you in filing a claim against the negligent doctor, nurse, anesthesiologist, medical facility or other individual or group that was involved in the injury case.

Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Albuquerque

Attorney Frances Crockett has committed the legal practice to assisting those who have been the victim of medical malpractice. The cases we take on vary widely in degree of injury and each has its own individual circumstances. As these cases are often litigated in court, it is vital that the evidence supporting the case is obtained as soon as possible after the injury. As time passes, some evidence can become harder to find, and witnesses who can provide important evidence can have their memories of the incident fade. We immediately get into action in constructing a case against the negligent medical professional, and seek to get the matter resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible. When we can avoid court and reach a settlement without litigation, we will. We will not accept a payment that is lower than the injured victim should receive, based upon the damages they suffered in the case.

Our firm has the resources to call upon to help in supporting our case for our injured client or their families, including medical professionals, scientific experts, and other expert witnesses. We carefully evaluate every aspect of the case to determine what claims should be made with regard to damages. The negligent facility, as well as the doctor or other medical professional involved must be held accountable for their failure to provide the level of care to the injured. We represent clients in all types of medical malpractice cases, including but not limited to birth injuries, injuries from a failure to diagnose,  or incorrect diagnosis, as well as injury cases involving medication errors, surgical errors, and others.

Medical malpractice cases can include situations such as an individual being given a wrong diagnosis and treatment that led to making their condition worse. They could have been given the wrong medication, or an anesthesiologist incorrectly administered a dangerous drug that led to severe injury. Newborn infants can be permanently damaged when the attending physician does not act quickly enough when the child is in distress during the birth process.

There are cases in which the wrong surgical procedure was done on a patient, or a serious error took place during the surgery. Investigating the situation to determine if malpractice was the cause of the injury should be undertaken as early as possible in the case. We are committed to pursuing the best possible outcome for our clients, and take on cases determined to fight for justice and to recover compensation that reflects the degree of damage to the injured victim, both in the present and the future predicted losses and damages, both economic and non-economic
