New Mexico Legislative Update
The medical liability landscape in New Mexico has seen significant changes over the past few years. Legislation has been enacted that has fundamentally changed the New Mexico Medical Malpractice Act. These new laws significantly alter the way medical malpractice cases are tried, the amount of damages that can and will be awarded, and the funding and management of the state’s Patient Compensation Fund (PCF). In turn, these new laws directly impact the availability and affordability of medical liability insurance for New Mexico’s healthcare professionals.
