Sometimes the people we trust to provide medical care end up doing more harm than good. When this happens, those who are harmed by an act of Texas medical malpractice are left with many questions and a wealth of painful emotions. The Texas personal injury lawyers and support staff of Terry Bryant are sorry if you or a loved one has been the victim of Texas medical malpractice. We would like to help you win compensation for the harm that’s been done to you, and we understand you probably have many questions.
The following are a few of the most common questions we’re asked by our Texas medical malpractice clients and the answers we provide in response.
Can I file a medical malpractice claim?
You can file a claim if you were the victim of medical malpractice, your child was injured by medical malpractice, or a loved one has passed away as a result of a medical professional’s or facility’s negligent wrongdoing. As with any Texas medical malpractice claim, you can recover damages for medical expenses, lost income, diminished earning capacity, funeral and burial costs, pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, and in cases in which the medical professional’s actions were intentional, punitive damages.
Does filing a claim always mean going to court?
Not necessarily. Sometimes medical malpractice claims can be settled before a lawsuit is even filed. In cases when a lawsuit is filed, often the suit can be settled before the court date.
The determining factor for whether or not your case goes to court depends on our ability to reach a fair settlement with the other party. If going to trial is the way to get you fair compensation for what you’ve suffered and you’re in agreement, then that’s what will happen.
Is there a time limit on when I can file a claim?
Like every state, Texas has what’s known as a statute of limitations, which determines the timeframe in which you can file a lawsuit after either experiencing medical malpractice or realizing medical malpractice was the cause of an injury or death to a loved one. Because the timeframe can vary based on the circumstances of your claim, it is important that you talk to a Texas medical malpractice lawyer like Terry Bryant who can advise you on how the statute applies to your claim.
