Establishing Liability
Medical malpractice claims require expert testimony from a physician in the same or similar specialty establishing that the healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standard of care and that this deviation caused the patient injury. Medical records, imaging studies, and pathology reports form the evidentiary foundation of these cases. The complexity of medical malpractice claims and the requirement for expert reports early in the litigation process make these cases resource intensive.
Relevant Texas Law
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 74 governs medical malpractice claims and requires the plaintiff to serve an expert report within 120 days of filing suit. Texas imposes a $250,000 cap on noneconomic damages per healthcare institution and a $250,000 cap per physician under Section 74.301, with a maximum of $500,000 in noneconomic damages against all physicians combined. The statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Texas is two years from the date of the negligent act, with a 10 year statute of repose under Section 74.251.
