If you have been hurt due to a doctor’s negligence (or the negligence of some other medical professional), you may have considered filing a medical malpractice lawsuit.

If you have been searching for a medical malpractice attorney, you may have realized how difficult it can be to find one to take your case. But experienced San Antonio medical malpractice attorney Michael Grossman is here to explain to you why that is, and what options you have available. Our firm has been handling Texas medical malpractice cases for twenty years, and we can explain in straightforward terms exactly what situation you are in.

Why will Noone Take my Case?

A number of years ago, legislators in Texas decided that doctors, surgeons, and other medical professionals were too vulnerable to lawsuits. They felt that it was necessary to issue tort reform that completely reshaped the way medical malpractice lawsuits are handled.

In today’s legal world, medical malpractice lawsuits require an incredibly strict standard of proof. A number of very specific conditions must be met in order for a medical professional to be considered negligent. The exact nature of these conditions is highly technical, and many attorneys have simply decided that it is easier to stop practicing medical malpractice law.

But the legal professionals at Grossman Law Offices have successfully resolved hundreds of medical malpractice cases – both before and after the tort reform. We are dedicated to making sure that negligent medical professionals cannot get away with injuring you or your loved ones.

So What Exactly is a Medical Malpractice Suit?

A medical malpractice suit can be brought against any medical professional if that professional has, through some form of negligence, done you harm. Doctors, surgeons, dentists, nurses, psychiatrists, chiropractors, and any other professional can potentially be sued for medical malpractice. Types of medical malpractice cases include:

• Misdiagnosis: this can either be an incorrect diagnosis of a condition or a failure to diagnose a condition at all.
• Treatment errors: this includes failing to provide treatment, providing incorrect treatment, providing too much/too little treatment, creating an adverse reaction from combining treatments, or any number of other treatment-related forms of negligence.
• Surgical errors: includes errors committed during surgery and during post-operation recovery.
• Nursing mistakes
• Dental mistakes
• Nursing home abuse
• Birth-related injuries: injuries caused to either a mother or a newborn child during childbirth.
