A: A New Mexico attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm very sorry for your loss. There are a couple of different areas of law here, and I can only speak for the medication-related issue. Most firms that handle such cases offer free initial consults. In terms of whether it was medical error, that's something a law firm would consult with a medical professional about. If they felt that there was a basis for a case, they would retrieve the file and review the documents with physicians or other health care professionals. Good luck
