Medical Malpractice
Medical negligence cases in Texas are among the most procedurally demanding in civil practice. Chris handles health care liability claims with the depth of preparation and expert coordination these cases require.
Chapter 74's procedural gate
Under Chapter 74 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code, a plaintiff must serve a qualified expert report and curriculum vitae on each defendant within 120 days of filing suit. A deficient or late report can end the case before its merits are ever heard.
Damages caps, pre-suit notice requirements, and expert-qualification standards all layer onto an already difficult claim. The case must be built for that framework from the intake stage.
How we build these cases
Careful early review of records, imaging, and standard-of-care questions before commitment, so clients receive an honest assessment of viability rather than reflexive filing.
Coordinated engagement of qualified medical experts whose reports meet Chapter 74's standards and withstand challenge.
Preparation from the outset for trial, not just for settlement — hospitals and insurers respond differently to counsel who prepares to try the case.
Who this is for
Serious injury or death arising from surgical error, misdiagnosis, medication error, birth injury, or systemic failures within hospitals and health systems.
