The consequences of medical malpractice extend far beyond physical injury. Victims often:
Many victims also experience profound psychological effects. You might find yourself questioning every medical recommendation, living in fear of seeking necessary treatment, or battling depression as you come to terms with permanent changes to your health or appearance.
When healthcare providers fail in their duty, you shouldn’t have to bear the financial burden along with the physical and emotional toll.
The legal system allows wronged patients to seek compensation for their damages in order to help make up for the pain and suffering they have sustained. This also encourages victims to bring to light medical professionals who act in ways that endanger the health and safety of their patients.

It’s important to note that Texas caps non-economic damages (pain and suffering, etc.) in medical malpractice cases at $250,000 per defendant, with a maximum of $750,000 total. There is no cap on economic damages like medical expenses and lost wages.
Our medical malpractice attorney in McAllen will fight to ensure you receive the maximum compensation available under Texas law for the harm you’ve suffered.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is generally two years from the date of the injury or from when the injury was discovered or should have been discovered. The discovery exception often applies in medical malpractice cases. A patient can have surgery and not experience any symptoms for many years, only to suddenly become very ill and discover that malpractice was the cause.
However, Texas imposes an absolute deadline of 10 years from when the malpractice occurred, regardless of when it was discovered (known as the statute of repose). This means you can still claim in 2025 for malpractice that occurred back in 2016, even if you did not discover it until very recently.
These deadlines are strict, and missing them typically means losing your right to compensation. That’s why it’s crucial to consult with a medical malpractice attorney as soon as you suspect a problem with your care.
