NM’s 1st Judicial District Chief Judge says medical malpractice cases are up “significantly" in the area over the last few years.

This is clearly a result of venue shopping, which most states prohibit. We believe health care providers should be judged in accordance with the standards of the community of which they practice. It's about fairness and justice. ... See MoreSee Less

An independent OB/GYN practicing in New Mexico pays an average of $102,089 per year for their medical malpractice insurance premium. That rate is much higher than NM's neighboring states.

This surge shows venue shopping is a problem. Providers should be judged by the communities in which they practice. It's about fairness and justice.

NM is an outlier compared to other states when it comes to our medical malpractice system. NM has more large claims (above $500,000) per 1,000 physicians than our neighboring states and the national average.

This makes it difficult to recruit and retain health care workers.💔
