Texas Medical Malpractice Lawyer - Daniel Stark

What Should I Do if I Think I Have a Medical Malpractice Claim?

Texas Medical Malpractice

  • Do not delay!
    There is a statute of limitations with any medical malpractice claim and usually delays help the other side more than they help you. As a general rule, the statute of limitations on a Texas medical malpractice claim is two years. However, the two year time limit can be measured from one of three dates.

    Those dates are:

    • The date the injury happened

    • The last date the medical malpractice injury was treated

    • The last date of the hospitalization related to the injury

    However, the statute of limitations does not allow a plaintiff to simply choose the most favorable date for his or her particular case. These three dates are only “to aid a plaintiff who was injured during a period of hospitalization or course of medical treatment but has difficulty ascertaining the precise date of the injury. If the date of the negligence can be determined, the limitations must be measured from that date.” This being said, there are a number of exceptions, so do not lose hope just because the two years may have already passed. Contact a Daniel Stark Texas medical malpractice attorney to assist you in determining the statute of limitations on your particular case.

  • Do not try to evaluate or “work out” the claim yourself.
    Typically, the real decision makers are the insurance companies of the doctor or the healthcare agencies along with the doctor’s attorney. These people are paid to protect the doctors and hospitals, NOT YOU. Their purpose is to avoid you obtaining any information that might help your case. They, like any corporation, are in the business to make money; not to pay your claim.
    Texas medical malpractice cases are complicated. You need an experienced professional on your side to help you sort through and gather information in order to assist you in evaluating your claim. Without a medical malpractice attorney, the doctor’s attorney and the insurance companies are not likely to take your claim seriously.
