The truth is, it’s HARD to know when you or a loved one has been a victim of medical malpractice. In fact, most Americans don’t. Only about 5% of all instances of medical malpractice result in a claim or lawsuit. You may recognize mistreatment or a poor outcome, but without a medical background, it’s difficult to discern when the standard of care has been breached. That’s where we can help.
Poulos & Cavazos is the only New Mexico law firm specializing exclusively in medical malpractice litigation. Our team includes a nurse and physician whom we consult for case analysis. We are uniquely equipped to answer your questions and investigate if you or your family has experienced a needless injury or tragedy due to physician or hospital negligence.
There are never any up-front costs associated with asking us to investigate your potential lawsuit. Only in the event of a settlement or favorable jury verdict of your case would our law firm collect any fees.
If you are ready to speak to an expert, schedule a no-charge consultation today via the link in our bio or call 866-849-0781.

When you're facing the devastating impact of medical negligence, you deserve a law firm that understands what you're going through-and knows how to fight for you.

Weve lived this story. Were new Mexicans. And with 60+ years of combined legal experience, we've represented seriously injured clients in complex medical malpractice cases involving physicians, hospitals, nurses, pharmaceutical companies, medical labs, and more.

As a small, dedicated New Mexico firm focused exclusively on medical malpractice, we intentionally limit the cases we take so we can provide the personal attention and commitment our clients deserve. Our team also includes medical professionals, whom we consult with regularly to help us understand the medical nuances of every case.

Our partners have earned prestigious Top 25 Super Lawyers recognition, and our firm has secured more than $500 million in gross recoveries for victims and their families.

Most importantly, we’re here for New Mexicans. We understand the unique challenges of medical malpractice in our state and the impact it can have on patients and their loved ones.
