Long Term Care Defense
Historically, the Rodey Law Firm has been a leader in long-term care defense in New Mexico. We represent nursing homes, assisted living facilities and home health care providers.
We have successfully defended countless cases in New Mexico’s federal and state courts, including cases involving medication errors, falls, allegations of abuse, pressure ulcers and infections, and other cases with complex issues of causation and damages.
We are experienced in representing individuals employed by long-term care facilities, including doctors, therapists, nurses, administrators and nursing aides. Clients tell us that our broad knowledge of New Mexico law, judges, court procedures, and opposing counsel is invaluable to their ability to litigate in New Mexico.
