Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Malpractice Claims

1. How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case in Texas?
You may have a case if a medical provider made a preventable mistake and that mistake caused real harm. Not every bad outcome is malpractice. The key issue is whether the standard of care was violated. Our attorneys can review your records and consult with medical experts to evaluate the strength of your potential claim.

2. Who can file a malpractice claim?
In Texas, the injured patient typically files the claim. If the patient is a minor or incapacitated, a legal guardian may act on their behalf. When negligence leads to a death, certain surviving family members can pursue a wrongful death lawsuit connected to the malpractice on behalf of the estate of the decedent.

3. How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Texas?
Most Texas medical malpractice cases must be filed within two years of the date of the negligent act. There are limited exceptions, but waiting too long can jeopardize your rights, so it is important to speak with our San Marcos medical malpractice attorneys as soon as possible.

4. What role do medical experts play in these cases?
Expert testimony is required in nearly every medical malpractice claim. Independent medical professionals help establish what the standard of care required is and how it was violated. We can work with qualified third-party experts to analyze your treatment and explain the error in a way courts and insurers can understand.

5. Will my case have to go to trial?
Many medical malpractice claims are resolved through negotiation and settlement. Others require formal litigation. Whether your case goes to trial depends on the facts and on how the opposing parties respond. Our attorneys prepare every case as if it may need to be presented in court.
