They may make some mistakes, leaving victims with worse injuries than they had initially. If this happened to you, our Houston medical malpractice lawyer is ready to help with your case.

Texas law gives victims of these errors the ability to seek damages related to the new injuries. Our team knows how frustrating it can be to suffer new illnesses or injuries because of a doctor’s negligence. You may be facing an uncertain future caused by mistakes of a doctor. Proving a doctor’s error can be a challenge, but we do not back down from difficult cases. Contact Waldman Legal Group today for a free consultation about your case at (713) 688-4878.

Our Houston Medical Malpractice Attorney Delivers Compassionate Care

When you suffer injuries at the hands of a negligent doctor, you may hear from the doctor’s malpractice insurance company. The insurer may make it seem as though you did something wrong. The insurance company may accuse you of exaggerating your injuries. This should not happen. You did not do anything wrong, and you deserve respectful treatment, not accusations.

Our Houston medical malpractice lawyer understands the strategies insurers use to avoid paying a claim, or paying a large sum. Just remember that the insurer’s sole job is to try to pay you as small a settlement as possible. Smaller payouts lead to higher profits for the company. We will fight this strategy with our experience and skill in medical malpractice cases. We will use the facts in the case and interviews with your doctors to explain exactly what the future holds for you health-wise. These facts help us determine the proper amount to request for damages.

We understand that some medical malpractice victims may have concerns about being able to afford an attorney. Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means you do not need to pay us ahead of time to secure our representation. Instead, our fee comes from a percentage of the final settlement of the case. You do not owe us any money if we don’t win an award for you.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

After receiving treatment from a doctor for an illness or injury, you expect to improve or recover. However, when you do not recover and instead become sicker, this could be a sign of medical malpractice.

Malpractice occurs when the doctor or another medical professional makes a preventable error while caring for you. Should this error lead to additional injuries for you, increasing your medical bills, you can seek compensation for the new injuries. Some examples of medical malpractice include:

  • Prescribing dangerous drugs
  • Making errors in dosages
  • Unnecessary surgeries
  • Leaving surgical items inside the patient
  • Misdiagnosing a condition that should have been easy to catch
  • Preventable birth injuries to the baby or mother
  • Defective medical devices.

What Kinds of Awards Can You Win in a Malpractice Lawsuit?

Depending on the severity of your injuries, you could be facing a lifetime of pain and disability. You may be unable to return to your normal line of work, struggle with daily activities, lose your ability to have children, or suffer other long-term effects. Medical malpractice errors can result in a significant reduction in your quality of life.

Our Houston medical malpractice lawyer cannot guarantee that you will win a certain amount in a lawsuit. However, we do know that those who suffer the greatest level of injuries will be eligible to win the largest potential settlement amounts. You can count on us to use our experience from cases we won in the past to help you win the settlement that you deserve. Some items for which we can seek awards include:

  • Current and future medical bills
  • Current and future rehabilitation costs
  • Costs for at-home medical care
  • Costs for medical equipment
  • Current and future lost wages
  • Financial compensation for pain and suffering
  • Financial compensation for emotional trauma.

What If the Insurer Says My New Injuries Are Minor?

Even if you suffer what the insurer calls “minor” injuries from the doctor’s error, you still can win a judgment. Our Houston medical malpractice attorney knows that even so-called minor injuries can result in significant pain and suffering. After the doctor’s mistake, you may be unable to enjoy the same activities you did with friends and family. You may miss quite a bit of time at work.

Keep in mind that the insurer’s job is to try to reduce your financial award. Insurance companies work hard to reduce the payouts they must make to victims. This technique allows the insurer to keep more money and to keep profit margins high. Ultimately, when an insurance company calls your injuries minor, this may not be truthful. The insurer wants to believe your injuries are minor. But you and your doctor know the extent of your injuries and any reduction in quality of life you may now have.

Our Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Houston Will Protect Your Interests

Although filing a medical malpractice lawsuit can seem intimidating, you should not delay your decision on whether to file. Texas state statutes give victims in medical malpractice cases up to two years from the date of the doctor’s error to start the process.

Count on our Houston medical malpractice lawyer to make sure your case hits all of the required deadlines. Some insurers will try to delay settling a case with the hope that the victim will give up and settle for a smaller amount. We fight insurance companies that are trying to stall. We stay on top of the case, trying to keep it moving along as smoothly as possible.

Representing Yourself Is a Difficult Path in a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

Texas law does not require that victims hire an attorney when they suffer negligence at the hands of a doctor. Victims certainly have the right to try to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company on their own.

Let Our Medical Malpractice Lawyers Protect Your Well-Being

Understand that the insurance company will have an attorney representing it during your negotiations. If your potential settlement amount will be large, insurers will have multiple lawyers working on your case. Hopefully, you only have to deal with a malpractice case once in your life. Medical malpractice lawyers, on the other hand, deal with these cases regularly. This can leave you at a disadvantage during negotiations.

By hiring our team to represent you, you will have an advocate on your side. Our only goal is to help you receive the award that you should have. No matter how many roadblocks the insurer tries to throw in our way, we will continue working toward the best possible settlement for you.

Medical Malpractice Cases Often Have Complexities

Another reason to rely on our team to represent you against the malpractice insurer is because of the complex nature of these types of cases. Our team has extensive knowledge of medical terminology. We can interview medical professionals and gain the information we need to fully understand the mistake the doctor made in your case.

Our many years of experience in representing victims of malpractice give us an edge. Lawyers who only dabble in medical malpractice may struggle to fully understand what is happening in this type of case.

We provide a free meeting to discuss the situation with any potential client. This meeting allows us to gain a feel for the type of case you have and for our chances of success.

Our Houston Medical Malpractice Lawyer Is Ready to Defend Your Rights

Filing a lawsuit against a doctor can be an intimidating process. Medical professionals receive a lot of respect, and understandably so. However, they do make mistakes. We understand exactly how to apply the facts in the case to show that the doctor’s treatment of you rises to the level of negligence.

When the doctor’s malpractice insurance company tries to intimidate us, we will not back down. We rely on the facts to show why you deserve a settlement offer. Our medical malpractice lawyer will try to obtain the settlement you deserve as fast as we can. But we will not recommend accepting an unfair settlement just to end the case quickly.

Waldman Legal Group Is Not Afraid to Take Your Case to Court

Some medical malpractice lawyers avoid going to court at all costs. They seek any sort of settlement during negotiations, so they don’t have to endure the time and expense of a trial. At the Waldman Legal Group, that’s not the case. We always try to win a great settlement for you through negotiations. But we are not afraid to go to trial when the insurer is treating you unfairly.

We will provide advice on how you should proceed with your case. Understand, though, that the final decision on our next move in the case always belongs to you. Call our Houston medical malpractice lawyer today at (713) 688-4878 for a free consultation about your situation.
