Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when your medical provider deviates from the accepted standard of care. Medical providers are required to exercise reasonable care in accordance with their profession. If a doctor, hospital, or other health care provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, then that provider may be liable for any resulting injuries.
Unfortunately, most Texas families know of a friend or a loved one that has been subjected to substandard medical care. For some, the medical malpractice does not result in a significant injury. For others, the medical malpractice leaves the victim and the family isolated and devastated. When the health care providers stop talking to you and start ignoring you, it is time to seek assistance. Time after time, our office has seen health care providers attempt to simply ignore obvious medical mistakes by ignoring the family and the patient. Other health care providers have tried to confuse patients with double talk when they refuse to take responsibility for their actions. Some health care providers even refuse to turn over the patient's medical records or interrogate the patient when the medical records are requested.
If a medical provider has ignored your repeated questions, has not fully responded to your questions, or has refused to provide you with medical records, it might be time to seek the assistance of an attorney.
We are experienced in medical malpractice cases. Some examples of medical malpractice cases in which we have assisted victims and families include: drug overdose, Obstetrical and Gynecological malpractice, amputations due to bed sores, emergency room errors, hearing loss, incorrect drug administration and retained sponge cases.
The new laws capping jury awards and limiting patient rights make it harder to seek justice at the courthouse. The large hospitals and insurance companies have tremendous resources to fight each and every medical malpractice claim that is filed, regardless of how atrocious the conduct. It takes a board certified attorney who specializes in personal injury cases to prosecute these types of claims. The Law Office of Edward Sampson has the necessary experience to successfully help you and your family.
