Considerations with Medical Malpractice Cases in Texas

Our law firm has been representing the injured throughout Texas successfully. However, in the area of medical malpractice, there are some considerations to be taken, before a case can be successfully litigated.

The underlying nature of the case is very important. Was it an intentional act vs. a negligent act. Was the act or omission inseparable form the the claim. Texas law has changed to the detriment of injured victims and to the benefit of insurance companies. Law firms must consider the fact that, there is a cap on compensatory damages for any type of medical malpractice claim.

With an expert report, which is required in order to advance the medical malpractice case, the Defendants must be implicated and must be mentioned by name. Although the Court looks at the "four corners" of the report, to see whether liability arises, attorneys need to be aware that, must experts do not understand the concept of "proximate cause." An expert report may have inferences, but not assumptions.
