AV-rated* trial attorneys Gene Hagood and William Neumann each have more than 30 years of experience with the investigation and proof of personal injury claims, including medical malpractice lawsuits.

At Hagood & Neumann, L.L.P., our lawyers work closely with medical experts from the very beginning of your case in order to make sure that we have a reasonable likelihood of proving that a physician's negligence or a surgeon's error or the negligence of other health care provider was responsible for a disabling or fatal medical outcome. We handle such malpractice cases as the following:

  • Claims for failure to diagnose an illness, misdiagnosis of a medical condition, or delayed diagnosis of treatable medical conditions
  • Surgical errors, including arthroscopic and laparoscopic surgery
  • Radiology mistakes leading to misdiagnosis
  • Anesthesiology errors during or following surgery
  • Errors in prescribing, administering, or filling prescriptions for medication
  • Birth injuries such as cerebral palsy and shoulder dystocia caused by negligence in the delivery room
  • Negligent patient care by a hospital or nurse
  • Negligent treatment in an emergency room

Depending on the particular mistake committed, physical damages in the most serious medical malpractice cases serious personal injury or death can occur. Texas law imposes a $250,000 limit on damages in medical malpractice cases for such non-economic le losses as pain and suffering, loss of companionship, or other elements of loss that relate to the victim's quality of life. Economic losses are not subject to this cap. We therefore leave nothing to guesswork in identifying and documenting such elements of economic loss as lost income, future treatment needs, and the expenses involved in adaptive technology and home health care.
