Why New Mexico families choose Branch Law Firm

Deep Malpractice Focus

We work alongside medical experts to evaluate exactly what happened—and what should have happened.

No Upfront Costs

You don't pay any legal fees until we recover compensation. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.

Battling Insurers

Hospitals have legal teams working immediately. We level the playing field from day one.

⚠️ Before you speak to anyone from the hospital — read this.

The hospital may send an insurance representative to speak with you. They may seem helpful. They are not on your side. Without guidance from a birth injury attorney, you may accept a settlement that falls far short of what your family actually needs. You have the right to speak with a lawyer first.

Talk to us before you respond

"You don't need proof. You just need questions."

Some parents were told the injury was unavoidable. Others assumed the doctors did everything they could. Often, that isn't the whole story. You don't need a medical degree to call us. You just need to wonder if things could have gone differently.

Signs Your Injury May Involve Malpractice

During Delivery

  • Vision changes/swelling in mother
  • Fetal distress was ignored
  • Emergency C-section delayed

At Birth / Newborn

  • High-pitched/abnormal crying
  • Yellowing skin/eyes (Jaundice)
  • Claw-like hand or arched back

In the First Year

  • Cognitive delays or poor memory
  • Seizures or muscle spasms
  • Trouble with hearing or vision

Injuries We Handle

Delayed or Failed C-Section

In 2023, 28.4% of New Mexico births were C-sections. When this medically necessary procedure is delayed, the harm can be catastrophic.

Cerebral Palsy / HIE

Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) occurs when a baby's brain is deprived of oxygen. This is often preventable with proper heart monitoring.

Erb's Palsy / Shoulder Dystocia

Nerve damage resulting from excessive force during delivery. Providers must follow precise repositioning procedures.

Forceps & Vacuum Injuries

Misuse of tools can cause skull fractures and brain bleeds. We hold providers accountable for improper techniques.
