The Types of Cases Our Medical Malpractice Law Firm Handles in Cypress

Hastings Law Firm takes on medical negligence cases for patients and families in Cypress, Texas, involving misdiagnosis, birth injuries, surgical and medication errors, emergency room errors and hospital negligence. Our attorneys build each case from the complete medical records and the opinions of qualified medical experts.

Cypress families come to us most with these claims:

  • Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis. A serious condition can be mistaken for a minor one, costing the patient the time when treatment would have worked best. For misdiagnosis claims, we line up each symptom, test and result in order.
  • Birth injuries. Warning signs during labor can be missed, and the harm can affect a child for life. A birth injury lawyer at our firm reads the fetal monitoring record against the labor and delivery notes.
  • Surgical errors. An organ can be injured during a procedure, leaving the patient facing further surgery and additional recovery time. Our surgical malpractice lawyers study the operative report beside the recovery room and nursing records.
  • Medication errors. The wrong drug or the wrong dose can reach a patient and cause lasting harm. In medication error cases, we follow each order from the prescription to the bedside.
  • Emergency room errors. A serious condition can be sent home as a minor one, and lost time can turn a treatable illness into a lasting injury. We handle emergency room malpractice claims by working through the triage notes, test results and discharge instructions.
  • Hospital negligence. Gaps in staffing or monitoring can let a patient’s condition decline unnoticed, and falls or infections can follow. For hospital negligence claims, we review the nursing notes, staffing records and hospital policies.

These are the claims we see most, not every case our medical malpractice law firm handles. If you need a medical malpractice lawyer in Cypress for something not listed, ask us.

Filing a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit in Harris County

Under Section 15.002 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, a lawsuit is generally filed in the county where all or a substantial part of the events happened. A case can also be filed where an individual defendant lived when the claim arose, or where an organization being sued has its principal office in Texas.

Harris County’s civil district courts hear malpractice cases at the Harris County Civil Courthouse on Caroline Street in Houston, the county seat. For Cypress families, where the care was given is one of the things that decides where a case can be filed.

Hospitals serving Cypress sit along the Northwest Freeway. Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital has a 24-hour emergency room and a Level III trauma center. Houston Methodist Cypress Hospital offers emergency, childbirth, orthopedic and heart care. HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress, part of the HCA Houston Healthcare system, provides emergency, heart, neurological, orthopedic and women’s care. Wherever the care was given, Texas requires specific steps before a malpractice suit is filed and early in the case. Our firm also represents patients injured at Cypress hospitals, including Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital and Houston Methodist Cypress Hospital.

What to Do After Being Harmed by Medical Negligence in Texas

After harm from medical negligence in Texas, the first steps are to get the care you need, request your medical and billing records, and write down what happened. Your health comes first, and the records from that care become the starting point for any claim.

Federal privacy law gives patients the right, with few exceptions, to copies of their medical and billing records. A provider cannot refuse those copies because a bill has not been paid. Keep every bill and letter from the care alongside notes of your own.

Those notes should record the dates, the people involved and what each of them said. If an insurer for the hospital or provider asks you for a statement, be careful about what you say before you speak with a lawyer. Texas deadlines for these claims are strict, so a free early review with a medical malpractice attorney in Cypress keeps your options open.

Cypress Medical Malpractice FAQs

A medical malpractice case in Cypress, Texas, requires proof of four things. The health care provider owed the patient a duty of care, the care fell below the accepted standard, that failure caused the injury, and the injury led to losses.

Causation, the link between the care and the harm, is shown through the records and expert opinions, as our guide to proving causation in a malpractice case explains.

Hiring our medical malpractice lawyers in Cypress, Texas, costs nothing up front, and you owe no attorney fees or case costs unless we recover compensation for you. Our attorneys handle every medical malpractice case on a contingency fee. The case review that comes before any agreement is also free and confidential, and it tells you whether you have a claim.

The worth of a medical negligence claim in Cypress, Texas, depends on the medical costs, lost income and how the injury changed the patient’s life. Section 74.301 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code limits non-economic damages, such as pain and mental anguish, to $250,000 per claimant against physicians. Each hospital or other health care institution faces its own $250,000 limit per claimant, with $500,000 the combined limit when more than one is responsible.

That section does not cap economic losses, such as medical bills and lost earnings. Our Texas medical malpractice damage caps guide explains how each limit works.

You generally have two years to file a malpractice lawsuit in Cypress, Texas, counted from the negligent care or from the end of the related treatment or hospitalization. Section 74.251 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code sets that deadline. A child injured before age 12 generally has until his or her 14th birthday, although the Texas Constitution can keep that deadline from cutting off a child’s claim before the child can sue.

Section 74.351 generally requires an expert report to be served on each provider sued within 120 days after that defendant’s original answer is filed, or the claim against that defendant can be dismissed. Each provider must also get 60 days’ written notice before suit, and no claim can be brought more than 10 years after the care. Our Texas medical malpractice statute of limitations guide explains each deadline.
