Frequently Asked Medical Malpractice Questions

I'm not sure if I have a case. How do I find out?

The only way to find out is to have the case reviewed by a malpractice specialist. The average person (and the average attorney) simply does not have the training and experience to recognize a malpractice case when they see one. Each year doctors get away with thousands of cases of malpractice because the wrong people are reviewing the case, or because a lawyer who is not a malpractice specialist makes a mistake which results in the case being lost.

What will this cost me?

Nothing. The review of your case is done without any cost to you. If we proceed with your case, you pay us out of money we recover for you. If we don't recover anything for you, you owe us nothing, regardless of how much time and money we have invested in your case.

How Much is My Case Worth?

Nobody can answer that question until all of the evidence has been examined and all of the witnesses have told their stories. As a general rule, the value of any case is dependent on the likelihood of winning if the case is tried before a judge and jury and the amount that a jury is likely to award in damages if you win. Only experienced trial lawyers have the expertise to obtain and analyze your evidence in order to give you advice you can trust about what your case is worth. And only experienced trial lawyers know how to make your case worth as much as it can be.

Two things are certain at the beginning of every case. The first is that anyone who tells you what your case is worth without knowing all the facts is a fool or a liar. The second is that your case will be worth much more with an experienced lawyer representing you than with a lawyer who is just learning how to handle a case like yours. In law as in everything else, experience makes a huge difference.

How Much Time Do I Have to Sue?

In Medical malpractice cases, there is a special and complex series of rules which are so arcane and unfair to injured plaintiffs that many lawyers cannot understand them and many of our judges and appellate courts disagree on what they mean. As a general rule, you have no more than two years in which to file suit from the date that the malpractice occurred which you believe caused an injury. But that is only a very general rule.

IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU CONTACT A QUALIFIED ATTORNEY IMMEDIATELY IF YOU BELIEVE YOU MAY HAVE A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASE. MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAW IN TEXAS IS INCREDIBLY UNFAIR TO INJURED PEOPLE, AND IF YOU DO NOT IMMEDIATELY CALL A LAWYER YOUR CASE MAY BE LOST-EVEN IF ONLY A FEW MONTHS HAVE PASSED SINCE THE DATE OF THE DOCTOR'S NEGLIGENCE.

At Polewski & Associates, we have seen too many people lose their cases because they waited too long. Even if there is still time under the applicable statute of limitations, every day in which you delay speaking to a lawyer is a day that witnesses may disappear, physical evidence may become unavailable, and records may be destroyed. Your lawyers will need to prove your case: you must contact them in time so that they can get the evidence they need to help you win.

If you suspect that you have been hurt due to medical malpractice, call us today. You can't call us too soon, and it is tragically easy to be too late.
