Medical malpractice can be a devastating experience, leading to unexpected health complications, financial strain, and emotional distress. When faced with such a situation, it’s crucial to understand your rights and the steps you can take to seek justice. In Texas and Tennessee, Culpepper Law Group is committed to helping victims of medical malpractice secure their rights and obtain the compensation they deserve.
Understanding Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional deviates from the standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. This can include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and more. It’s important to recognize that not all unfavorable outcomes are due to malpractice; rather, it must be proven that the healthcare provider’s negligence directly caused the injury.
Know Your Rights
In both Texas and Tennessee, patients have the right to pursue legal action against healthcare providers who have committed malpractice. However, there are specific statutes of limitations and procedural requirements that must be followed. For example, in Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit, while in Tennessee, the deadline is one year.
