When Help Becomes Harm. Your Rights In Texas Medical Malpractice

When we place our elderly parent in a nursing home, or when we go to the hospital or dentist, we expect to be in a safer state than before we arrived. In fact, people providing care in these places have a duty to fulfill. When this duty is neglected or dismissed and someone gets hurt, it’s time to talk to a medical malpractice attorney.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Simply stated, medical malpractice is when a healthcare provider does not provide acceptable care. This can include when the provider doesn’t do something that causes harm, or does something that causes harm. Professionals who work in health care have a legal “duty of care” to fulfil.

Types of Healthcare Negligence We Handle

While the spectrum of possible errors a dentist, surgeon, pharmacist, nurse or other care provider can make is long, there are common errors that do unfortunately happen. Here are some of the types of medical malpractice cases we handle:

• Hospital and nursing home falls
• Surgical error including anesthesia mistakes, wrong limb, foreign objects and infections
• Dental malpractice including delaying treatment, misdiagnosis and wrong tooth

Our attorneys understand that it can be difficult to know if what happened to you qualifies as a medical malpractice case. This is why we offer a free consultation to people who have suffered a personal injury.
