Texas Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Aggressive Representation Against Negligent Doctors & Hospitals

When doctors make preventable mistakes, lives are permanently changed.

Patients trust physicians, surgeons, nurses, and hospitals with their health and their future. When that trust is violated because a medical provider fails to follow the accepted standard of care, the law allows victims to hold them accountable.

At Schorr Law Firm, we represent victims of serious medical malpractice across Texas, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, and surrounding communities. We take on complex cases involving catastrophic injury and wrongful death — and we prepare them for trial from day one.

Hospitals defend these cases aggressively. So do we.

What Is Medical Malpractice in Texas?

Under Texas law, medical malpractice occurs when:

1. A healthcare provider owes a patient a duty of care;
2. The provider breaches the accepted medical standard of care; and
3. That breach directly causes injury or death.

Not every bad outcome is malpractice. But when a doctor misreads imaging, ignores symptoms, botches surgery, delays treatment, overmedicates a patient, or fails to monitor a deteriorating condition — and serious harm results — that is negligence.

Medical providers do not get a free pass simply because medicine is complex.

The Scope of Medical Errors in the United States

Research from major medical institutions has estimated that preventable medical errors may account for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year in the United States. If accurate, medical negligence ranks among the leading causes of death nationwide.

Those numbers represent real people:

• A missed cancer diagnosis.
• A preventable surgical complication.
• A birth injury that changes a child’s life forever.
• A hospital-acquired infection that should never have happened.

Behind every case is a family that deserved better.

Why Medical Malpractice Cases Require Trial Lawyers

Texas medical malpractice cases are not simple injury claims. They are highly technical, expert-driven lawsuits governed by strict procedural rules.

Before filing suit, Texas law requires:

• A comprehensive review of medical records
• Consultation with a qualified medical expert in the same specialty
• A formal expert report outlining how the provider violated the standard of care

These cases require substantial financial investment and deep litigation experience.

If required, Schorr Law Firm advances the costs of expert review and litigation. We prepare every case as if it will be presented to a jury in a Texas courtroom.

Insurance carriers and hospital defense firms know which attorneys are prepared to try cases — and which are not.

That matters.

Medical Malpractice FAQ (Texas)

How much does a medical malpractice lawsuit cost?

Medical malpractice litigation is expensive. Expert witnesses, depositions, and trial preparation often require significant upfront investment. Some cases cost tens of thousands of dollars. Highly complex cases can cost substantially more.

We advance all litigation costs.

You pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation through settlement or verdict.

---

How long does a medical malpractice case take in Texas?

Most cases take one to two years after filing suit, depending on complexity and court scheduling. Some resolve sooner; complex cases may take longer.

We move cases forward aggressively and avoid unnecessary delay.

---

Will my medical malpractice case go to trial?

Some cases resolve through negotiated settlement or mediation. Others require jury trial.

We prepare every case for trial from the beginning. That preparation often strengthens our leverage during settlement discussions. If trial is necessary, we are prepared.

---

What is mediation in a medical malpractice case?

Mediation is a confidential settlement conference conducted before trial. A neutral mediator — often a retired judge or experienced trial attorney — works with both sides to explore resolution.

If the case does not settle, it proceeds to trial.

---

What is the first step if I suspect medical negligence?

The first step is a confidential case evaluation. Medical malpractice claims in Texas are subject to strict deadlines and statutory requirements.

Early investigation is critical.
