When we represent a client in a medical malpractice case, our attorneys get to work immediately. We understand Texas law allows only injury victims two years before the deadline to file a lawsuit against the liable party ends. Therefore, we must start working quickly to ensure we have enough time to properly investigate and build a strong case. Steps we can take to help prove you deserve compensation include:
- Investigate the incident that injured you
- Gather and review evidence to prove the medical professionals caused your injuries
- Identify all parties who could owe you compensation
- Determine the extent of your injuries and losses
- Identify how much compensation to seek and show that you deserve this compensation
- Negotiate with the opposing party for a favorable settlement
The more time we have to take these steps, the more time we will have to build the strongest compensation case we can for you. For this reason, we recommend seeking help from our Texas medical malpractice attorneys as soon as possible. Time-sensitive evidence can be easier to obtain after the incident.

Types of Compensation You Could Recover in a Medical Malpractice Case
The condition of your injuries can play a huge role in the types of compensation you could recover. For example, people with more severe injuries that require surgeries and long-term care could likely recover more compensation than someone with minor injuries.
In a medical malpractice case, we can help you fight to recover both your economic and non-economic damages. You could maximize your case’s value by including non-economic losses.
Economic Damages in a Medical Malpractice Case
Economic damages include any monetary losses you sustained because of your injuries. Examples of economic damages you could seek compensation for in a medical malpractice case include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Past and future lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Any extra out-of-pocket expenses you incurred
- Rehabilitation costs
To recover economic damages, we can provide evidence to prove you sustained these losses. Examples of evidence we could need to prove your economic losses include pay stubs, medical bills, and receipts for extra expenses.
Non-Economic Damages in a Medical Malpractice Case
Non-economic damages can compensate you for the non-monetary losses the medical malpractice incident caused. Since you didn’t lose money because of these losses, they have a more subjective value. Our medical malpractice attorneys in Texas have strategies we use to calculate the value of these damages.
Examples of non-economic damages you could seek compensation for in a medical malpractice case include:
- Enduring physical pain
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment
- Disability
Our attorneys can seek compensation for non-economic damages on your behalf. We can also collect evidence to prove them, such as expert witness testimony, your medical records, and other relevant documents.
Wrongful Death

You and your family could take legal action against the medical professional responsible for your loved one’s care.
