Medical Malpractice Attorney

Cypress, TX Medical Malpractice Attorney

Most people are very aware that today’s healthcare system bears little resemblance to the healthcare system in the U.S. four or five decades ago. Doctors and healthcare providers are extremely busy, with little time to spend on each patient. In fact, Elation Health found that most physicians only spend between 17 and 24 minutes with each patient, despite the fact that the time spent with a patient is a crucial component of the patient-provider relationship.

When a patient feels as though the provider is rushed or is not listening, the quality of care and level of trust diminishes. On the provider’s side, seeing too many patients each day can lead to burnout. When a healthcare professional fails to meet the accepted medical standard of care and the patient suffers harm, medical malpractice may have occurred. The duties of a medical malpractice attorney in Cypress, TX include:

Gathering evidence that validates the medical malpractice claim
Collaborating with the client to collect all relevant medical documentation, diagnostic tests, and other pertinent records
Securing additional medical opinions from experts qualified to say whether the actions of the healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standard of care
Ensuring the statute of limitations is not exceeded in the medical malpractice case
Negotiating a fair settlement, always keeping the damage to the client in the form of financial losses, pain and suffering, and lost wages in mind
When a settlement cannot be reached, a medical malpractice attorney must be prepared to take the case to trial, preparing legal arguments, gathering testimony from witnesses, presenting compelling evidence, skillfully cross-examining the defendant’s witnesses, and delivering persuasive opening and closing statements on behalf of the client

When you choose The Brothers Law Firm as your medical malpractice attorney in Cypress, TX, you can rest easy knowing we will vigorously and efficiently pursue your malpractice case with the goal of maximizing your recovery.

How Common is Medical Malpractice?

According to Justpoint, more than 250,000 people in the U.S. die each year from medical errors, making it the third leading cause of death across the nation following cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The suffering stemming from medical malpractice can have a lasting effect on an individual’s physical health, emotional health, financial well-being, and even his or her family relationships.

What Are the Primary Types of Medical Malpractice?

Failure to diagnose a patient’s medical condition is the number one reason for medical malpractice claims, with almost a third of all malpractice claims related to failure to diagnose. The other primary reasons for a medical malpractice claim include:

Injury to a patient during treatment or surgery
Failure to properly assess or diagnose a patient until it is too late
Anesthesia errors
Birth injuries
Failure to treat a patient’s condition, including infections
Incomplete documentation of a patient’s condition and/or treatments
Medication errors cause one death each day in the U.S., along with 1.3 million annual injuries

How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Medical Malpractice Case?

There is really no way you can know for sure whether you have a valid medical malpractice case without first talking to a medical malpractice attorney in Cypress, TX. When you speak to attorney John Brothers, he will comprehensively evaluate your specific circumstances and situation. Some of the things our firm will be looking for when evaluating the strength of your medical malpractice claim include:

Your doctor failed to fully explain the potential risks and complications of medical treatments or procedures. If you suffered actual harm as a result of your doctor performing a procedure on you that you did not agree to, or after a procedure or treatment in which the risks were not fully explained, you could have a valid medical malpractice claim.
The severity of your illness does not seem to match the treatment plan outlined by your doctor. The treatment plan may seem unnecessary or overly invasive considering your diagnosis.
Even though your doctor prescribed a treatment or procedure, you are not getting any better or your condition could be worsening. This could be a sign that your diagnosis or treatment was made in error.
While you have voiced concerns to your doctor, he or she has not addressed those concerns. If you are experiencing unusual or painful side effects from a treatment or procedure and express concern to your doctor but your concerns are ignored, you may have a medical malpractice claim.
You suffered an unusual outcome in the form of severe complications following your treatment or procedure. This could indicate that your medical provider may have made a mistake or error.
Despite following your prescribed treatment plan you have new, adverse symptoms.
Your healthcare provider’s office or the hospital seems understaffed, leading to a lack of proper care.

Since medical malpractice claims are among the most complex types of personal injury claims, it is essential that your medical malpractice attorney in Cypress, TX has the experience, knowledge, and skills necessary. Attorney John Brothers will thoroughly prepare your case with the ultimate goal of showing the following:

Your medical provider owed you a duty of care because you had an established patient relationship with the provider.
The duty of care owed to you by your medical provider was breached—i.e., another similarly trained medical professional, given the same circumstances would not have treated you in the same manner.
Your injuries were directly related to the breach of duty of care.
Your injuries caused damages—either financial damages or damages to your health and your future.
