Where Do You Turn When Things Go Wrong?
We trust medical professionals with our lives. But if their actions do not follow standard medical practice or fall below the accepted standard of care, a patient may be harmed. If you or a family member suffers medical malpractice, it may not be in your best interest to accept a settlement offer without talking to an attorney first.
The Law Offices of Stephen F. White, P.C., understands your concerns. As a Texas Board of Legal Specialization certified personal injury trial lawyer, Stephen White handles medical malpractice cases in the San Antonio and Laredo areas. Contact us today for a free consultation.
Don't Take on the Insurance Company Alone
If medical malpractice results in serious injury, disability or death, you may be facing long-term medical costs and perhaps loss of income. You need someone on your side to protect your interests. Working with an experienced personal injury lawyer may increase your chance of receiving the financial compensation you need.
How Does Malpractice Happen?
Medical malpractice is negligence on the part of a doctor, nurse, hospital, clinic, pharmacist, psychologist, psychiatrist, chiropractor or other health care worker. You may suffer medical malpractice from:
- Surgical errors
- Medical negligence resulting in death
- Failure to diagnose or treat an illness
- Medication errors
- Emergency room errors
- Dental negligence
- Nursing home neglect or abuse
Not every bad outcome is the result of medical malpractice; sometimes patients die even though every health care worker did his or her job correctly. However, if you feel you may have a case, please contact us today.
Now Is the Time
The statute of limitations in Texas for personal injury and wrongful death is two years from the time of the injury. So don't delay; call us at 210-340-9988 today for your free consultation.
