Medical malpractice claims are complex and emotional. You don’t have to navigate them alone. We’re here to help you understand your options and fight for what’s fair.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider fails to give care that meets accepted medical standards, and that failure causes injury or death. That could be from things like:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Birth injuries
- Medication mistakes
- Hospital or nursing care negligence
In Texas, you must prove that:
- A provider had a duty to care for you.
- They failed to meet the accepted standard of care.
- Their mistake caused your injury.
- You suffered measurable harm as a result.
Medical malpractice claims are different from general injury cases because they require detailed medical evidence and expert review. That’s why having the right lawyer matters.

- Has handled cases like yours before

Frequently Asked
Questions
What counts as medical malpractice in Texas?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted medical standard of care and that failure causes injury or death. It’s not just a bad outcome, it has to be negligence that a medical professional should have avoided.
How soon do I need to file a claim?
Texas has time limits — often two years from when the mistake happened or when you discovered it. There are exceptions, but waiting too long can mean losing your right to compensation. It’s best to contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
Do I have to go to court?
Many medical malpractice cases settle outside court, but we’re prepared to take your case to trial if that’s what’s needed to get fair payment.
What if the medical provider denies responsibility?
That’s common. Insurance companies often deny claims at first. We handle negotiations and push back against unfair denials.
Will my case take a long time?
Medical malpractice cases often take months or longer, depending on how complicated the evidence is and whether the other side wants to fight. We keep you informed every step of the way.
What kind of compensation can I get?
Compensation may cover medical costs, lost income, future care, pain and suffering, and in wrongful death cases, loss of companionship.
How much will it cost me to hire your firm?
You don’t pay anything upfront. We only get paid if you receive compensation.
