Mr. Abrar and his team were more than helpful, vital and supportive of not only my case but my future as well. He was responsive, knowledgeable and quick to act/deliver. 5 stars to him and his team! Even though they will NEVER represent me again, since I NEVER plan to be in criminal court again. I do wish to positively impact lives especially aspiring ones- like Mr. Abrar and his team! Thank you again.

Legal Rights of Medical Sexual Assault Victims in New Mexico

Victims of doctor sexual abuse in New Mexico are protected by both state and federal laws that aim to hold abusers accountable. While these legal actions won’t change what happened, they may offer the peace of mind you need to move forward.

If you have been a victim of sexual harassment in a healthcare facility, you have the following legal rights:

  • The Right to Report the Abuse: Victims have the right to report the abuse to the relevant medical boards, law enforcement, or both. In New Mexico, healthcare providers who commit sexual misconduct can face criminal charges, professional disciplinary actions, and the revocation of their medical licenses.
  • The Right to Pursue Civil Action: Victims can file a civil lawsuit to seek financial compensation for the harm they have endured. Compensation may include:
    • Medical expenses for any treatments related to the abuse.
    • Therapy or counseling costs to address emotional and psychological trauma.
    • Lost wages or earning capacity if the abuse impacted your ability to work.
    • Pain and suffering for the emotional distress caused by the abuse.
  • The Right to Privacy and Confidentiality: Victims have the right to keep their identities confidential during legal proceedings.
  • The Right to a Safe Environment: If you are still receiving care at your abusers healthcare facility, you have the right to request a change of doctor or healthcare provider. 
  • The Right to Protective Orders: If you feel threatened or unsafe after reporting the abuse, you may request a restraining order or no-contact order against the doctor or healthcare professional who abused you.

These legal rights can become complex and overwhelming quickly, especially when you’re already experiencing a range of emotions. At Abrar and Vergara, we have experience in taking the legal weight off your shoulders so you can focus on healing. 

Our attorneys have years of experience handling civil sexual assault cases against medical providers in New Mexico. We bring in-depth legal knowledge, winning strategies, and compassion to the table so you have the best fighting chance of getting the closure you deserve.
