Medical malpractice is a term used to describe professional negligence by health care providers. It is a type of civil claim that can be brought against any health care provider, including doctors, nurses, dentists, technicians, and therapists.
For a medical malpractice claim in Texas to be successful, you must prove that the doctor or other health care provider failed to provide proper treatment or diagnosis of an illness or injury. You must also show that this negligent treatment caused you harm.
Texas malpractice cases’ standard of care requires the level of professional conduct and performance that other reasonably prudent medical professionals would exhibit under similar circumstances.
