Medical malpractice or medical negligence happens when a doctor violates the standard of care while treating a patient, leading to an injury or the death of the patient. Malpractice results when there is failure to diagnose or the doctor makes the wrong diagnosis, renders inappropriate treatment or delays in giving treatment.
With the help of a good medical malpractice lawyer, an injured patient can claim medical malpractice compensation against a licensed doctor, medical counselor, psychologist or psychotherapist. In Texas, the non-economic damage limits are up to $250,000 for all health care providers. For any single health care center, the total liability is up to $250,000. For all defendant health care centers, the total liability is up to $500,000. Thus, the overall damages are capped at $750,000.
In Texas, there is no limit on the fees of a medical malpractice lawyer. It’s important to choose attorneys from a reputable medical malpractice law firm, as these cases are highly technical. Besides, the lawsuits are strongly defended by defense firms that are adequately funded. So, the plaintiff is going to have a hard time proving that the doctor in question was really careless in carrying out his or her medical duties.
Generally, physician malpractice cases prove to be a costly affair. In addition to this, if you hire an inexperienced lawyer, there are chances that he or she might make a technical error. In order to take up such cases, the lawyer must be well-versed with the medical issues in question.
