Medical Malpractice:
    The description of medical malpractice is simple enough. Any act or failure to act by 
a health care professional diminishing or deviating the accepted standards of services and practices of the medical community is termed as medical malpractice. These actions can cause injury to the patient. 

Medical malpractice can also be termed as professional negligence on part of the health care professional. If the health care professional is found responsible (negligent),  
a patient can be compensated in money for the harm he or she has suffered. The payments are called damages.

The definition of a "Health Care Professional" is: a person who by education, training, certification, or licensure is qualified to and is engaged in providing health care. (Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 8th edition. © 2009, Elsevier)


If you have been a victim of medical malpractice you may be entitled to compensatory and punitive damages. Please keep in mind that the longer you wait to act on a medical malpractice matter makes it harder to prove in court. Please give us a call today, at (956) 631-5476, to schedule your free consultation!


Hospital & Nursing Home Negligence:
Due to an ever-increasing ratio of patients to caregivers, today patient abuse in America has been reported in one out of three hospitals and nursing homes. This number is both staggering and horrifying. Various types of patient abuse are universally recognized as hospital or nursing home abuse and negligence.  These include physical, psychological and drug abuse. 
If you or a loved one has been, or is currently, a victim of hospital or nursing home negligence, please give us a call. If you are unable to come into our office, please let us know, we will gladly come to the institution or facility for a free consultation. 



On The Job Injuries or Death:

If you have been permanently injured on the job or if worker's compensation denies your claim, it is in your best interest to call us immediately. We specialize in workers' compensation law.  

As a personal injury attorney, my staff and I can help you win the workers' compensation insurance benefits to which you are rightfully entitled.
