Medical Malpractice and Wrongful Death Lawsuits

Medical malpractice is another sub-category of wrongful death lawsuits. However, recent tort reform in Texas has made it much more difficult for wrongful death survivors to seek legal restitution through a medical malpractice lawsuit. More on this website
While tort reform was intended to prevent frivolous lawsuits from tying up the court systems, it also made it very complicated for legitimate medical malpractice lawsuits to proceed against negligent medical professionals. And if that isn’t enough, damage caps now exist on the amounts that can be sought – and paid – in one single medical malpractice lawsuit. This means that a bereaved family may not be able to seek fair compensation for their loss in one suit that would be commensurate to the actually incurred damages they have incurred. And though damage caps and other complications surrounding medical malpractice do make it more difficult to win fair judgments, there is still a way for families of those who have suffered wrongful death to recover fair recompense When we investigate a medical malpractice claim that has resulted in wrongful death, we will work to identify all liable parties. Some might have caps placed on the number of damages that can be sought from them while others might not. Then the plan is similar to filing third-party claims in a work-related accidental death case. And the more defendants who are drawn into your claim or lawsuit, the better the chance your family will receive total fair compensation.

We also must share with you the fact that many attorneys hesitate at the prospect of representing clients in medical malpractice cases because of their challenging nature in the wake of our recent tort reform, in addition to the many complicated technical aspects often involved in such wrongful death lawsuits.

Texas Survival Statute Lawsuit Filed By Estate Post Mortem

Car Accident Attorney: Texas Survival Statute: Personal Injury Lawyers: Texas Survival Statute Lawsuit filed by estate post mortem to seek damages for victim’s suffering

When a victim is injured in an accident, he or she is usually eligible to sue for personal injury. The victim can seek compensation for his or her medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages from time spent away from work or from a job loss due to the injury. But if the victim of the accident dies before he or she is able to file a lawsuit, the victim’s estate or surviving family members can sue under the Texas survival statute. This statute allows the family to seek compensation for the exact same damages for which the victim was eligible to be compensated. This type of lawsuit is similar to a wrongful death suit, but instead of seeking compensation for the family’s suffering, a survival statute lawsuit seeks compensation for the victim’s suffering.

If your family has lost a member and you wish to seek compensation on his or her behalf, our Texas attorneys can help. We have thirty years of experience helping families file Texas survival statute lawsuits and we know how to overcome the legal challenges associated with these cases.

Are You Eligible To File A Personal Injury Claim

Know what type of injury you sustained from an accident or related events to determine if you are qualified to file for compensation claims. The first type of injury is physical. This is the case where you can generally take note of all the information regarding the accident. Along with photographs of the scene of the accident, medical bills, charts and other procedures you were requested to undertake in the hospital following the accident can be submitted. The second type of injury is psychological. This is worse than the first type since you may suffer the effects long-term and may give rise to stress, anxiety and other emotional distress that you will hinder you from moving on after the accident.

Collect all evidence on the spot. If you are unable to perform this, have a person you know record all matters that can serve as evidence later on.

Take the accident seriously because you never know how it will affect you in the future, even if you think the pain is minor and life will move on as usual after the accident. You may feel benevolent and basically want to forget the accident ever happened. This will be difficult if the accident affects you in many ways, such as being unable to perform your usual duties and obligations due to your injuries.

Treating the mental effects from the accident is more complex as the duration could either be short or long, depending on your situation and how you were impacted by the accident. You may also suffer the stigma attached to psychological damages. For example, you may find yourself being regarded in a different way at your job and in other activities you engaged in before the accident.

There are matters that you should take care of at the scene of the accident in order for you to receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

1. Collect all evidence that you see at the scene. Ask a person you know to perform this task if you are unable to do so or you are required to be sent to the hospital for immediate treatment. Photograph all the things that happened at the scene. In the case of a car accident, photograph all angles of all vehicles involved. In addition, take note of all your injuries and take pictures of them.

2. Keep all the bills and all the documents for the treatments you have undertaken. If the accident is not your fault, you can request for reimbursement for accident-related expenses you have incurred later from the other party.

3. Hire the services of a good lawyer with experience in compensation claims for personal injury. Furnish the lawyers will all the evidence you have collected so that they can map out a strong case for you. Inquire about the name of lawyers who do not charge consultation fees, especially if such added expense is not within your budget.
