Do I Have a Case in Texas

Strong malpractice claims share four elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. We show what the standard of care required, how the provider fell short, how that failure caused harm, and the full scope of losses. Quick action matters because records, timelines, and expert reviews take time to assemble.


If a loved one passed after negligent care, our team can discuss wrongful death options alongside your injury claim. For many families, the goal is clarity, accountability, and resources for long-term care needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if a poor outcome is malpractice or a known risk?

    Not every bad outcome is malpractice. We compare what happened to accepted standards, review informed consent, and consult medical experts to see if the error should have been prevented.

  • What should I gather before calling?

    Discharge papers, medication lists, imaging reports, referral notes, and a simple timeline of events help us start fast. If you do not have everything, we can obtain records for you.

  • Will I need to speak with the hospital’s insurer?

    Not without guidance. We handle communications so your words are not taken out of context and your claim strategy is protected.

  • How are fees handled?

    We work on a contingency fee. You do not pay upfront legal fees. We are paid only if we recover compensation for you.
