Attorney Michael Grossman Discusses Medical Malpractice in Texas

In the State of Texas, medical malpractice cases are highly technical and require the skills of an experienced medical malpractice lawyer to have any chance of success. You may ask yourself, "Why is it so hard to find attorneys to take my medical malpractice case?".

Many years ago Texas lawmakers felt it necessary to protect the livelihood of doctors and medical personnel by issuing tort reform that made a drastic impact on the way medical malpractice lawsuits are conducted.

In effect, this tort reform created an environment where the physicians are sheltered from the vast majority of lawsuits and are only susceptible to cases that meet certain requirements. Modern medical malpractice cases require a higher standard of proof than ever before.

Many attorneys have simply decided that medical malpractice cases are too complex and as such they have chosen not to practice that type of law. Fortunately, Grossman Law Offices has many years of experience practicing medical malpractice cases both before and after the tort reform measure took effect.

Our experience and understanding of these complex laws enables us to hold negligent doctors accountable for your pain and suffering in all manner of malpractice cases including:

• Misdiagnosis (an inaccurate or incomplete diagnosis and/or treatment of a disease; injury; syndrome; behavior; infection or other ailment)
• Improper Treatment (not conforming to legality, moral law, or social convention)
• Failure To Diagnose (the failure of a medical professional to correctly diagnose a medical condition. Failure to diagnose, delayed diagnosis, and other types of misdiagnoses are common causes of medical malpractice lawsuits)
• Incorrect Dosage or Inaccurate Implementation of Drugs (Correct prescription and an incorrect dosage or an inaccurate implementation of the drugs are administered. This is not only a medical malpractice but can also classify as a drug and pharmacy injury)
• Surgical errors (surgeon fails to provide adequate treatment to a surgery patient often leading to significant personal injury. Medical standards are not followed thus the surgery patients receive inadequate treatment due to surgical malpractice)
• Incorrect Dosage or Inaccurate Implementation of Drugs (Correct prescription and an incorrect dosage or an inaccurate implementation of the drugs are administered. This is not only a medical malpractice but can also classify as a drug and pharmacy injury)
• Nursing Malpractice Cases (When a nurse fails to properly treat a patient or acts in an unacceptable manner when compared to other professionals in his or her field)
• Informed Consent Document (A thorough description of a procedure as it relates to a particular patient)
• Surgical Error Claims (Surgical errors can include operating on the wrong body site, using infected equipment, anesthesia errors, organ or tissue damage during surgery, or pre-operation errors like taking an incomplete or improper medical history, among other things)
• Surgery Consent Claims (It may seem that these documents are meant to make sure the patient is making an informed decision, but they are really designed to protect medical professionals from lawsuits)
• Health Care Provider Malpractice (The defendant in malpractice cases can be any health care provider whose negligence makes that person liable for a patient’s injury or death)
• Dental Malpractice (If those who provide dental care don’t adequately diagnose a problem, if they treat it inappropriately, if they don’t treat it or they don’t treat it promptly, and a patient is injured, there may be a case for malpractice)
• Dentist Malpractice (Dental malpractice occurs when someone providing dental care for you, whether this person is a dentist, dental assistant, pharmacist, or technician, treats you improperly)
• Nursing Home Abuse (The elderly and mentally impaired are often at the mercy of the medical staff who is supposed to look after them. Far too often the medical staff fails to provide the proper level of care and the patient suffers as a result)
• Birth Injuries (There are many naturally occurring problems that can occur in in birth. It is necessary to prove that injury was a direct result of the actions or inaction of the medical personnel involved in the birth)
• and several other categories
