Navigating Texas Medical Malpractice Laws
Texas law imposes strict deadlines—known as statutes of limitations—on medical malpractice claims. In most cases, families have two years from the date of injury to file a claim. However, in birth injury cases involving minors, extensions may apply, making early legal consultation essential. Sandoval Law Firm works with top medical experts to uncover negligence in cases involving:
- OB-GYN and delivery errors, such as failure to monitor fetal distress
- Improper use of delivery tools, such as forceps or vacuums
- Failure to perform a timely C-section
- Negligent hospital policies or understaffing
- Defective medical equipment
The Cost of Birth Injuries
A child with a serious birth injury may require lifelong medical care, therapy, and special accommodations. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average lifetime cost of care for a child with cerebral palsy can exceed $1 million source. These expenses can be financially devastating for families—especially when the injury was preventable. “Our firm is committed to making sure negligent hospitals and providers are held accountable, so families aren’t left alone to shoulder the burden,” added Sandoval.
