A History of Success

Brady began his legal career in California with one of the nation’s most successful medical malpractice and products liability firms. In those early years, he honed the skills and developed strategies to effectively advocate for individuals harmed by medical negligence, defective products, toxic exposures, and catastrophic accidents.

While his practice remained focused on medical malpractice and catastrophic injury litigation, Brady also played a key role in high-profile, complex litigation nationwide, including pharmaceutical and medical device cases. He quickly earned a reputation as a passionate advocate, known both for building strong client relationships and for achieving significant results.

In 2017, Brady returned home to Texas to dedicate his practice to representing patients and families in cases involving medical malpractice, birth injuries, and traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. Since then, he has successfully resolved hundreds of medical cases, including trying many cases to verdict and securing justice for clients and families in matters involving wrongful death and life-altering injuries. His commitment to advocacy has led to significant legal victories for patients across Texas, including obtaining one of the largest medical malpractice verdicts in the country in 2021.

Notable Cases

    Settlement

  • $4,500,000
    Settlement

    Brady Williams handled this case and secured a significant settlement on behalf of the family of a young man who suffered a catastrophic injury as the result of an anesthesia error during a routine surgical procedure. The negligence of the anesthesia team during what should have been a simple operation left him requiring around-the-clock care for the remainder of his life. Brady was able to structure the settlement to address his long-term care needs and ensure that his family has the resources necessary to provide him with comprehensive 24-hour support.

  • $4,500,000
    Jury Verdict

    Brady Williams handled this case and helped secure a significant recovery at trial on behalf of a man who suffered a devastating stroke and permanent brain injury after providers failed to appropriately stabilize his condition prior to an elective surgical procedure. The evidence established that known risk factors were present and should have prompted further medical optimization before proceeding to the operating room.

  • $3,600,000
    Settlement

    Brady Williams was involved in recovering a significant settlement for the parents of a child who sustained a permanent brain injury as a result of an unreasonable delay in performing an emergency cesarean section.

  • $2,050,000
    Jury Verdict

    Brady Williams secured significant recovery on behalf of a man who suffered the amputation of his leg after his health insurance company forced him to undergo a complex cardiac procedure with providers who lacked the qualifications necessary to perform it safely. Brady was able to establish that the insurer’s directive to use unqualified providers, rather than those best suited to handle his care, directly contributed to the catastrophic complications that followed. This case highlights the devastating consequences that can result when insurance-driven decisions override sound medical judgment and patient safety.

  • $1,875,000
    Settlement

    Brady Williams secured a settlement on behalf of a young man who suffered the amputation of his leg after providers failed to timely recognize and treat acute compartment syndrome. Compartment syndrome is a well-known surgical emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and intervention to prevent permanent tissue death and limb loss. The delay in diagnosis and treatment in this case was unreasonable and resulted in an outcome that was entirely preventable.

  • $1,200,000
    Settlement

    Brady Williams secured a significant settlement for the family of a young mother who died from an aggressive infection that went undetected and untreated after a breakdown in laboratory result communication led to her premature discharge from an emergency room. The evidence established that proper protocols, had they been followed, would have identified the infection in time to save her life. This case not only brought justice for her family, but Brady was also able to force the system to make institutional changes at the hospital level, helping ensure that no other family suffers the same preventable loss.

  • $1,000,000
    Settlement

    Brady Williams obtained a recovery for a woman whose spinal cord injury was not recognized or treated in a timely manner due to a critical breakdown in communication between her treating providers while she was hospitalized. By the time the severity of her condition was appreciated and acted upon, the window for meaningful intervention had closed, leaving her permanently paralyzed. This case continues to serve as a stark reminder of the life-altering consequences that can flow from failures in basic hospital communication and care coordination.

  • $950,000
    Jury Verdict

    Brady Williams secured a recovery on behalf of the family of a woman who died of sepsis after being misdiagnosed and discharged from a hospital emergency department without appropriate evaluation and treatment. The signs of a developing and serious infection were present at the time of her visit, yet her providers failed to recognize the severity of her condition and sent her home without the intervention she urgently needed. She died from a progression of the very condition that should have been identified and treated during her emergency department visit.

  • $900,000
    Settlement

    Brady Williams handled this case and secured a significant settlement on behalf of a man who suffered the amputation of his leg after providers failed to timely recognize and treat compartment syndrome that developed following heart surgery. The post-operative period following cardiac surgery demands vigilant monitoring of the entire patient, and the failure to identify the developing signs of compartment syndrome in his extremity allowed a treatable condition to progress to one requiring amputation. The combination of the underlying cardiac procedure and the subsequent limb loss made this an exceptionally complex case requiring expert support across multiple specialties.

  • $875,000
    Jury Verdict

    Brady Williams handled this case and secured a recovery for the family of a man whose life could have been saved had his hospital providers not discharged him before completing a thorough and appropriate cardiac evaluation. The warning signs of a serious cardiac condition were present at the time of his discharge, yet he was sent home without the further testing and monitoring his condition required. He suffered a fatal heart attack shortly thereafter, leaving his family to bear a loss that should never have occurred.

  • $787,500
    Jury Verdict

    Brady Williams obtained a recovery for the family of a man who lost his life to an aortic dissection that his hospital providers failed to diagnose before prematurely discharging him. The evidence established that his presenting symptoms were consistent with a serious vascular emergency and warranted a thorough diagnostic workup that was never performed. His death was entirely preventable, and this case served as a sobering reminder of the devastating consequences that flow from diagnostic failures in emergency and hospital settings.

  • $750,000
    Jury Verdict

    Brady Williams obtained a recovery on behalf of the family of a young father who died after being left unattended and unmonitored on a medical surgical floor following heart surgery. The standard of care demands heightened vigilance and close monitoring of patients in the vulnerable post-operative period following cardiac surgery, yet those obligations were not met. His death was a direct and preventable consequence of the hospital’s failure to provide the level of oversight his condition required.

  • $750,000
    Jury Verdict

    Brady Williams handled this case and secured a recovery for a man who sustained a permanent brain injury when the nursing staff responsible for his care failed to report meaningful and observable changes in his neurological status to his physicians. By the time the stroke team was alerted and able to intervene, the treatment window had closed and the damage was done. The evidence established that prompt communication of his deteriorating condition would have allowed for timely intervention and a substantially different outcome.

  • $700,000
    Settlement

    Brady Williams obtained a settlement for the family of a man who died from a brain hemorrhage sustained in a fall that occurred because his hospital failed to take the basic precautions necessary to keep him safe. During the discovery process, Brady uncovered systemic deficiencies in the hospital’s fall prevention program that placed vulnerable patients at unreasonable risk. His death was not an accident but the foreseeable result of an institution’s failure to meet its most fundamental obligation to the patients in its care.

  • Confidential
    Settlement

    Brady Williams secured a significant recovery for a local firefighter and young father who suffered a leg amputation following a partial knee replacement as the result of improper surgical technique.

  • Confidential
    Settlement

    Brady Williams obtained a significant recovery for a man whose life was permanently altered when a cervical epidural steroid injection, a common and generally low-risk pain management procedure, resulted in a spinal cord injury due to the provider’s failure to follow required safety protocols. The evidence established that the injection of contrast dye into the spinal cord was a direct consequence of procedural shortcuts that fell far below the accepted standard of care. The permanent neurological impairment he suffered serves as a sobering reminder of the critical importance of protocol adherence even in routine interventional procedures.

  • Confidential
    Settlement

    Brady Williams secured a settlement on behalf of a man who suffered a permanent brain injury after the symptoms of a developing arterio-esophageal fistula went unrecognized and untreated following a cardiac ablation procedure. An arterio-esophageal fistula is a known and serious complication of cardiac ablation that demands prompt recognition and intervention, yet the warning signs present in this case were missed until irreversible neurological damage had occurred. The failure to identify and act upon this developing complication in a timely manner transformed a known procedural risk into a catastrophic and preventable outcome.
