A Proven Houston Lawyer for Your Serious Medical Malpractice Claim
Texas statutes governing lawsuits for medical malpractice have evolved and been challenged frequently in recent decades. While it is true that certain types of damages are capped, liability standards are strict, and other complexities are involved, these factors do not mean it is useless to take action.

Unfortunately, changing a law doesn't always correct — or even address — a very serious problem. In the case of medical malpractice laws intended to discourage litigation against doctors, nurses and hospitals, some studies even indicate that care continues to decline and errors are on the increase. We have represented victims and surviving family members in cases arising from:
- Birth injuries, including brain injury and consequences of shoulder dystocia
- Failure to diagnose, delayed diagnosis, or failure to provide timely treatment of a life-threatening condition
- Serious medication errors
- Surgical errors resulting in paralysis, other permanent disability, or wrongful death
- Nursing errors or caregiver neglect and abuse
Continuing the Essential Fight for Accountability in Health Care
Our work on behalf of negligence victims and their families has yielded solid insight into the health care system, delivery of care, standards of care, and why errors occur. As Mr. Phifer puts it, "Most physicians and nurses are highly skilled, hardworking people who do their best. However, our system has become too focused on profit at the expense of patient care. Corners are being cut, resulting in fatal mistakes."
We assess potential medical malpractice cases diligently, considering factors such as:
- Useful evidence, discrepancies and inconsistencies in medical records
- Qualifications, licensing and personal histories of doctors, nurses, and others responsible for adhering to standards of care
While we do not offer false hope in a trying time, we strive to give people victimized by medical malpractice the answers they need. To explain what happened and take advantage of a free case evaluation, call 888-840-0501 today.
