Common Medical Malpractice Questions
Although the specific definition of informed consent may vary from state to state, it means essentially that a physician (or other medical provider) must tell a patient of all the potential benefits, risks, and alternatives involved in any surgical procedure, medical procedure, or other course of treatment, and must obtain the patient's written consent to proceed.
The Hastings Law Firm handles all medical malpractice cases on a contingency basis meaning you pay nothing upfront but agree to pay a percentage when your case is won or a settlement is reached.
Not necessarily. It depends on the information available to your doctor at the time your diagnosis was made, and the steps he or she took (or didn't take) in reaching a conclusion as to your condition. All of this must be weighed against the applicable medical standard of care, meaning the level of care that a similarly-trained health care professional would have provided. And if there was a misdiagnosis that fell below the applicable standard of care, you need to show that you ended up suffering some kind of harm as a result.
In short, no. Texas law has made medical malpractice cases very difficult and expensive to litigate and the caps on compensation mean that it can often cost more to pursue a case than you can receive in damages. These cases also require costly expert review and testimony from medical professionals and many hours of deposition. Since personal injury attorneys are paid on a contingency fee basis, they simply cannot accept cases that do not involve serious injuries.
There are two main types of damages victims of medical malpractice may be entitled to: compensatory and punitive. Compensatory damages, also known as monetary damages, are the most common form of damages in a personal injury claim. Compensatory damages can include Past, current, and future medical bills, Costs of medical equipment, Home healthcare expenses, Lost wages, Emotional duress, Loss of future earnings potential, and Loss of enjoyment of life (Loss of Consortium). Punitive damages are rare in medical malpractice cases but may be available if the medical professional in question acted intentionally or with particularly reckless behavior. These types of damages are awarded to punish the professional for gross negligence, or when the court feels as though they would be getting off lightly by only having to compensate the patient for the resulting injuries.
