Medical Malpractice Claims, An Overview
Medical malpractice refers to any action by a healthcare professional that causes injury or death to the patient. Although most might think med-mal claims are against doctors; hospitals, nurses, therapists, urgent care facilities, midwives, and other healthcare providers may also be pursued for damages. Whether you were injured by a doctor, nurse’s aide, lab technician or anesthesiologist, you’ll have legal recourse if medical malpractice can be proven.
As a result of tort reform in past years, even if medical malpractice is proven we could face an uphill battle. Tort reform resulted in a limit on the amount insurers have to pay out on claims and serves to protect medical professionals and their insurers from fraudulent damage claims by victims under the guise of fighting back against frivolous lawsuits.
Such changes in the law made filing med-mal lawsuits difficult and arbitrarily capped the total monetary damages that can be awarded to a plaintiff in such cases. Thanks to changes in Texas law, if you rightfully deserve and are awarded millions of dollars by a jury, the law will limit your just due. As a result, many Houston medical malpractice lawyers shy away from most cases, leaving injured victims with few options for recourse.
