FAQ
Proving medical malpractice is a difficult and nuanced process that requires the expertise of a seasoned attorney. If you've sustained an injury or illness due to the negligence or error of a medical professional, our firm can help you pursue damages via an insurance claim or lawsuit.
Medical malpractice is generally described as errors or mistakes that your doctor or another healthcare professional makes in treating you. A wide range of things can constitute medical malpractice, from misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis to outright surgical mistakes and errors.
The size of the cap depends on whom the plaintiff is suing. Each plaintiff may recover: $250,000 in noneconomic damages from any single health care institution (such as a hospital), but no more than $500,000 from all health care institutions named as defendants in the case.
To initiate a claim in a Texas medical malpractice case, you must serve the defendants in your case with a written notice of your intent to file a claim, at least 60 days beforehand. The notice must include the completed authorization form for the release of your protected health information.

malpractice claim in Texas requires four elements: (1) a duty by the attorney to the plaintiff, (2) the attorney's breach of that duty, (3) proximate cause, and (4) damages.
Of these four criteria, causation, or proving that a doctor's or medical professional's actions caused the harm or injury the patient has experienced, is often the hardest to demonstrate in court.
A jury can award any amount for economic damages. Therefore, the average medical malpractice settlement is somewhere between the person's economic damages and $250,000 above that amount.
