Dallas Medical Malpractice Attorney

Our Dallas medical malpractice lawyer team at our firm is ready to help with a multitude of medical mistake cases because we believe in standing up for the rights of victims.

• Medical Negligence: The term “medical negligence” is often used interchangeably with the term “medical malpractice.” However, medical negligence refers to a healthcare professional failing to provide treatment in line with the standard of care that a similarly trained professional would administer in a similar situation.
• Defective Medical Products: Medical devices are classified based on their level of intrusion into a patient’s body, and they must be approved by the FDA. However, even approved medical devices can become defective due to an unknown design flaw. When this occurs, a patient can sustain severe infections, adverse reactions, and even death.
• Surgical Errors: Surgical errors are often called “never events” because they consist of mistakes that should never be made in medicine. The outcome of a surgical error is regularly devastating, if not fatal. There are various medical mistakes that can lead to severe patient harm, including performing surgery on the wrong body part or amputating the wrong limb, operating on the wrong patient, causing nerve damage during surgery, accidentally leaving surgical tools or foreign objects in a patient’s body, incorrectly administering anesthesia or other medications during surgery, and more.
• Elder Abuse: Most people do not think of medical mistakes when they hear the term “elder abuse,” but the reality is that medical mistakes often affect the elderly population. Unfortunately, medical mistakes are often covered up and blamed on the “aging process,” as opposed to mistakes. This is not right, and a Dallas medical malpractice attorney will stand up for the rights of the elderly.
• Nursing Home Abuse: There are various forms of abuse that can occur in a nursing home setting, including abuse centered on medical mistakes and medical neglect. Nursing home staff regularly treat residents with an inadequate standard of care, including failing to treat wounds, failing to provide proper physical therapy, and failing to properly administer medications.
• Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Errors: Plastic surgery is sought by patients for both cosmetic purposes and for those seeking to restore functionality and appearance after an injury. Unfortunately, reports indicated that errors made during plastic surgery procedures often result in severe patient scarring, nerve damage, organ damage, infections, deep vein thrombosis, heavy blood loss, and more.
• Misdiagnosis: Researchers at Johns Hopkins have said that diagnostic errors cause more patient harm than any other type of medical mistake. These errors commonly occur when medical professionals fail to listen to or recognize patient symptoms, are inadequately trained, fail to properly follow-up or examine test results, and more.
• Failure to Diagnose: A failure to diagnose a patient is similar to a misdiagnosis, but the results are often much worse. When a medical professional fails to diagnose a patient’s injury or condition, then that patient often goes without any medical care for their symptoms. When a diagnosis is finally made, it is often too late to prevent serious disabilities or death.
