Dallas-Fort Worth Medical Malpractice Lawyer
In the past several years there have been several changes to Texas law which adversely effect individuals who have been victims of medical negligence. Unfortunately for Texas medical consumers, doctors and other healthcare providers have been provided by the Texas Legislature a level of protection from their wrongdoing which specifically limits the rights of the injured person. Unreasonable caps on non-economic damages such as pain and suffering and mental anguish limit the amount an individual may recover regardless of whether or not the results of the medical negligence are permanent. Whether a Texan is forced to spend the rest of his or her life in a wheelchair or as a paraplegic, a Texas jury is limited on the damages that can be awarded.
