Compassionate Help After Medical Mistakes
If you or someone you love was hurt because a doctor, nurse, hospital, or medical provider didn’t give the standard level of care, you deserve someone who will fight for you. At Djiba Law, we help people in Hutto, TX and nearby areas like Pflugerville, Round Rock, Taylor, and Georgetown get the compensation they need after medical malpractice.
Medical malpractice cases are hard. Hospitals and insurance companies make them harder. That’s why you need a lawyer who’s been in the courtroom, knows Texas malpractice laws, and isn’t afraid to stand up to big defense teams.
Why You Need a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Here’s the thing. When a medical professional’s mistake causes harm, your life changes fast. You may face more doctor visits, unpaid medical bills, lost income, pain, stress, and worry.
Medical malpractice is not just about being unhappy with care. It’s about proving that:
- A healthcare provider had a duty to take care of you.
- They failed to meet the standard of care.
- That failure caused your injury.
- You suffered losses because of it.
This sounds simple, but insurance companies make it difficult. They’ll ask for complicated medical records, legal papers, and trash your claim if you don’t respond right. We make sure nothing gets missed. We handle medical records review, expert witness support, documentation, and filings so you don’t lose your right to compensation because of a technical error.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider fails to treat a patient in a way that a reasonably careful professional would under similar circumstances—resulting in injury, worsened health, or death.
Common examples include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis – A serious illness missed or diagnosed too late.
- Surgical errors – Wrong site surgery, anesthesia problems, retained tools.
- Birth injuries and obstetric malpractice – Nerve damage, cerebral palsy, trauma to mom or baby.
- Medication errors – Wrong drug or dose, failure to check interactions.
- Hospital negligence – Infections, bedsores, falls, poor post‑op care.
- Doctor or nurse negligence – Failing to monitor vital signs, ignoring patient complaints.
- Wrongful death due to medical errors – Devastating loss that should never happen.
- Insurance claim disputes related to medical injury claims.
These are more than uncomfortable experiences. They affect your body, your ability to work, your family, and your future.
How Medical Malpractice Works in Texas
Texas has specific rules for medical malpractice claims. For example:
- You have a limited time to file a claim (statute of limitations).
- Certain cases require expert testimony before filing.
- Hospitals and doctors often have teams defending them.
If a claim is filed late or without proper evidence, you may lose your right to compensation. Our team helps you understand and meet every deadline and legal requirement so your claim stays strong. We do deep medical records analysis, consult expert witnesses, prepare filing documents, and guide you through every step.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What counts as medical malpractice in Texas?
Medical malpractice is when a healthcare professional fails to give the standard level of care, and that failure causes injury or death. It’s more than a bad outcome. You must show the provider’s mistake caused your harm.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Texas?
Texas has a statute of limitations. Usually, you have two years from the date of injury or discovery to file. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation.
Will I have to go to court?
Not always. Many cases settle out of court. But if the other side won’t offer a fair amount, we’re ready to take your case to trial.
Do I pay anything upfront?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing unless we win compensation for you.
How much is my case worth?
It depends on your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future needs. We review it with you and explain what fair compensation looks like.
What if the doctor admits fault?
Even if a doctor apologizes, that doesn’t always mean they’ll pay. We handle negotiations and make sure your rights are protected.
What if I’m not sure it was malpractice?
That’s okay. Call us. We review your case for free and help you understand your options.
