Navigating Medical Negligence in Dallas Healthcare
Medical malpractice claims in Texas are governed by Chapter 74 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. This statute outlines strict procedural requirements, including a 60-day pre-suit notice and an expert report from a qualified healthcare provider within 120 days after filing a claim.
While most healthcare providers deliver excellent care, instances of negligence can occur in any setting. These legal hurdles make it especially important to work with attorneys who understand the systems, deadlines, and tactics needed to build a strong case.
