Most people understand that if a person is injured physically or emotionally as a result of someone else’s negligence, the injury is covered under Texas’ laws regarding personal injury. However, if the injury is the direct result of a medical professional’s mistake, you’ll need a more specialized attorney. Medical malpractice is a kind of personal injury. This means that all medical malpractice attorneys in Houston are, by default, personal injury attorneys, but that does not mean that all personal injury attorneys understand how to handle medical malpractice cases.
At West Loop Law and the Law Office of Nhan Nguyen, MD, JD, we can help you navigate the complexities of a medical malpractice claim after being unfairly injured by a trusted doctor or medical professional.
Medical Malpractice Is a Form of Personal Injury in Texas
When an individual is harmed due to no fault of his own, both personal injury and medical malpractice law are used to right a civil wrong. Medical malpractice is a subcategory of personal injury, and although there is some crossover, medical malpractice cases are far more complex than ordinary car crash or slip and fall cases. Our attorneys at West Loop Law and the Law Office of Nhan Nguyen, MD, JD carefully choose the cases we take on so that we can provide our clients with the individualized attention they need while dealing with the intricacies of a medical malpractice lawsuit.
What Do Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury Have In Common?
As a subset of the larger personal injury umbrella, medical malpractice and personal injury cases have important similarities, including:
- Injured Parties. Both practice areas are centered on obtaining justice through the civil court system when someone has been hurt as a result of another party’s action or inaction.
- Civil tort law. Medical malpractice and personal injury are both covered under civil law and torts.
- Monetary compensation. The manner of justice pursued is financial compensation for the injured party’s economic and non-economic losses.
