Medical Malpractice: What It Is and Why It Matters
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider fails to deliver care at the standard expected in their profession and that failure causes serious harm. That harm can include:
- Wrongful death due to treatment errors
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a serious condition
- Surgical mistakes
- Hospital negligence
- Prescription or medication errors
- Birth injuries
- Nursing home neglect
Medical malpractice claims are complicated and time‑sensitive. Texas has strict rules about when a claim must be filed. If you miss these deadlines, you may lose your right to compensation entirely. That’s why it’s crucial to talk to an experienced attorney early.

Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle
Not all medical malpractice cases are the same. We help clients with a wide variety of claims:
Surgical Errors
Surgeries don’t always go wrong, but when they do, the results can be devastating. If a surgeon operates on the wrong site, leaves an instrument inside you, or causes a preventable injury, that’s medical malpractice.
Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis
If a doctor failed to diagnose a condition that a competent doctor should have found, or took too long to diagnose it, and that delay made your condition worse, we help hold those providers accountable.
Prescription and Medication Errors
The wrong dose, the wrong medication, or a dangerous drug interaction can cause serious harm. Pharmacists, doctors, and nurses all have a duty to protect you.
Birth Injuries
When medical staff fail to take proper care during childbirth, both mom and baby can suffer. These cases are especially emotional and require deep experience and compassion.
Hospital Negligence
Hospitals can be held responsible when their policies, staff shortages, or lack of training contribute to patient harm.
Nursing Home Negligence
If your loved one was harmed in a nursing home by neglect or poor care, you may have a claim in addition to or separate from any medical malpractice claim.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What counts as medical malpractice in Texas?
In Texas, medical malpractice means a healthcare provider did not use the same care that a reasonably careful provider would under similar circumstances, and that carelessness caused harm.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Texas law has a statute of limitations that usually gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. But there are exceptions. You need an attorney to review your timeline.
Will I have to go to court?
Not always. Many cases settle with a fair agreement from the other side. But if you need a trial to get the justice and compensation you deserve, we’re ready to take your case to court.
How much does it cost to hire a medical malpractice lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront and we only get paid if we recover money for you.
Can I still file a claim if the doctor didn’t mean to harm me?
Yes. Intent isn’t required. The key issue is whether the care you received was below the accepted medical standard.
What types of compensation could I get?
You might be able to recover money for medical bills, future medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
How long will my case take?
Every case is different. Some settle in months; others take longer, especially if they go to trial. We keep you informed every step of the way.
