Podiatrist Malpractice Attorney Serving Clients Near Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Arlington, Irving & North Texas
Our feet are fundamental to our daily lives, yet often overlooked until an injury occurs. When foot injuries happen due to a podiatrist’s negligence, even the simplest tasks like climbing stairs or playing with children can become daunting challenges.
Podiatrists are medical professionals specializing in foot care, handling everything from ingrown toenails to intricate foot surgeries. However, when errors occur, the outcomes can be life-altering.
At Polewski & Associates, we have extensive experience with cases involving procedures such as bunion surgery and Achilles tendon repairs. These cases require a seasoned podiatrist malpractice attorney, not a generalist attorney handling their first podiatry case.

What Is Podiatrist Malpractice?
Podiatrist malpractice refers to a situation where a podiatrist, a health professional specialized in foot and ankle care, causes injury or harm to a patient through negligence, incompetence, or deviation from accepted standards of care.
Examples of Podiatrist Malpractice
Podiatrist malpractice may include incorrect diagnosis, resulting in administering the wrong treatments or procedures. For instance, a podiatrist might incorrectly diagnose a benign foot condition as malignant, leading to unnecessary invasive procedures.
A podiatrist may also commit malpractice by improperly performing a surgical procedure, such as incorrectly aligning a fractured bone, leading to chronic pain or mobility issues for the patient.
All these instances can result in significant harm to the patient.
Complications That Might Signal Podiatrist Malpractice
Some complications that may signal podiatrist malpractice include:
- Improperly performed surgeries that lead to increased pain, swelling, or infection.
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of foot-related diseases.
- Incorrectly prescribed medication or treatment that causes adverse effects.
- Failure to obtain informed consent before procedures.
In extreme cases, malpractice could result in permanent disability or deformity.
