CY ROOM
NEW MEXICO AS CHANGED
THE PRICE IS RIGHT
Many states have significantly lower caps, which means victims of medical malpractice are more likely to receive inadequate settlements. This new legislation is a huge win for New Mexico malpractice victims and their families, and we are excited to help more people receive the compensation they’re truly owed for their claims.
Why We Work on Contingency Fees
Medical malpractice cases against certain qualified health care providers start in an administrative hearing before the New Mexico Medical Malpractice Commission. Though this hearing isn’t binding, it does help attorneys on both sides better assess their cases and determine the likelihood of success. From there, they generally negotiate a settlement both sides can accept. But if they cannot see eye to eye, a jury will decide the claim’s fate.
“Sure, a lawyer sounds great, but who can afford it?”
That’s what many of our clients think before meeting us. Many more probably never walk through our doors because they’re convinced they don’t have enough money to hire an attorney to take their case. There are probably countless people who could have received compensation for their accidents but never filed. So, you need to know that at Harmonson Law, we don’t take any money upfront. We work on contingency fees, which means we don’t get paid unless you get paid. If we don’t secure a settlement or win your case, we don’t get paid for our work, no matter how many hours it took. It’s that simple. Contingency fees are based on a percentage of the total recovery amount we win in each case. It creates a mutually beneficial relationship because your success is our success. If the insurance agency makes a lowball offer, we have no reason to rush the case and urge you to take it. Doing so would hurt our bank accounts as much as yours. An unscrupulous lawyer who charges upfront may be inclined to take unwinnable cases, wasting your time, money, and hope. After all, they get paid regardless of the outcome. Working on a contingency basis means we believe in the cases we work so much that we’re willing to stake dozens or more unpaid hours on them.
The entire process is very complex and requires expert advice. Due to the specialized knowledge involved, a victim is extremely unlikely to recover full damages from their medical malpractice lawsuit by themselves. At Harmonson Law, we have years of experience with these cases and would be honored to review your case. Emergency room doctors may have strenuous jobs, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t responsible when they cause a patient harm.

Further, you don’t have to scrape together thousands of dollars when you’re already recovering from an injury and drowning in medical bills. And since we earn a percentage instead of a flat fee, each client only ends up paying what they can afford. We’re also willing to work on pricing by tailoring our services when the situation warrants it. Knowing you can afford your attorney is important, but having the right attorney is just as crucial. Not all contingency fee lawyers are created equal. The right one can add significant value to your case, while the wrong one can cost you a pretty penny. Since the representation you choose can make or break your case, we encourage you to meet with us, review our results, and decide for yourself.
