Medical malpractice is a serious violation of a patient’s trust in their doctor or other medical provider. Because few patients have the extensive medical knowledge of a doctor, they place themselves fully in a doctor’s hands when they require care for an illness or injury. A doctor’s negligence is a breach of a medical provider’s duty of care.

When Does Medical Malpractice Occur?
Doctors and other medical providers have a legal duty to treat patients at the standard of care accepted by the medical community. Once a doctor/patient relationship is established, the provider owes this duty of care to their patient. If they violate this duty of care and the result is an injury with related damages to a patient, it’s medical malpractice. The patient has a right to full and fair compensation.
The most common types of medical malpractice in Texas include the following:
- Missed diagnosis
- Delayed diagnosis
- Misdiagnosis of one condition as a different condition
- Medication mistakes
- Anesthesia errors
- Surgical errors, such as wrong-site/wrong-side/wrong-patient surgeries, or surgical implements left in body cavities
- Wrong-side amputations
- Failure to obtain informed consent
- Failure to detect post-operative infection/negligent post-op care
- Failure to give a patient adequate post-op care instructions
When a doctor commits any of the above types of malpractice, and their patient suffers injury, worsened medical condition, or death, they or their surviving family members have a right to full compensation for their damages.
What Damages Can I Recover In an Arlington Medical Malpractice Case?
After suffering medical malpractice, many people require more extensive medical care, causing additional medical bills and time away from work, as well as further pain and trauma. In the worst cases, a catastrophic malpractice injury can cause disability or death. Common damages recovered in Texas medical malpractice claims include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Past-and-future earning loss and/or reduced earning ability
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Compensation for pain and suffering
- Catastrophic injury compensation for loss of limb, disfigurement, scarring, the loss of one of the senses, organ loss, or diminished earning ability
Wrongful death compensation is available to a surviving spouse, parent, or child after a medical malpractice death.
