In a perfect world, our doctors, nurses and hospitals would perform their jobs flawlessly each and every time a patient needed their services. Unfortunately, the complexity of modern medicine, the immense time pressures placed on doctors and nurses, and the profit-oriented nature of today’s hospitals oftentimes result in patients receiving sub-standard care. If you or a loved one has been harmed during a surgical procedure, by an improper prescription medication, or through the failure of a doctor or hospital to recognize and treat a medical condition, you should contact us immediately. You can call and speak with an attorney, or use the Case Evaluation button to confidentially submit information about your case and get a same-day response. Important Considerations: - Perhaps even more so than in other types of negligence cases, time is of the essence in a medical malpractice case. It is imperative that witness statements, photographs, and other evidence be captured before they become unavailable. There is no substitute for a visible representation of the harm suffered by a patient taken at the time of the injury. In addition, the short time frame in which medical malpractice claims can be brought is always a concern.
- Recent tort reform in Texas has limited the maximum possible recovery in many cases, but an exceptional attorney might be able to circumvent the caps in some circumstances.
- There are strict procedural requirements that apply to many medical malpractice claims. If the requirements are not met, it is possible that a valuable claim can be lost without any means of reviving it.
- Contact an attorney immediately. There is simply no substitute for an experienced practitioner who understands what is required to put together a winning case and has the financial resources to see a case through to completion.
- Texas law requires special steps be taken before a medical malpractice claim can be brought in court. Practicing physicians, nurses, and other care providers must provide supporting evidence at a very early stage in the case.
