Oilton, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

I hope your child is doing better. If your child has suffered significant harm, physical or mental, then you may have a valid medical malpractice claim against the hospital and or doctor that performed care on your child. Filing a medical malpractice claim can be difficult and expensive. If your child did not suffer significant harm, but you feel that you should not be charged for the misdiagnosis by the hospital/doctor, then I recommend you write a letter to the hospital requesting any charges related to that particular visit be voided. However, if your child is still suffering because the healthcare provider did not diagnose the condition in a timely manner, then you may have a good claim. Providing an attorney with more detail on your situation will assist them in giving you a more appropriate answer for your particular situation.

I cannot give a definite answer because you did not provide enough information. But it is more likely than not that you can assert a claim. The nature of the claim and framing of the issues will require a detailed analysis of the facts of the case.

You should hire a qualified and experienced injury attorney to pursue a claim for all your injuries, damages and losses caused by this drunk driver. A good injury lawyer will pursue any and all avenues of financial recovery, including her insurance and/or personal assets, any UIM insurance you may have on your insurance policy, and any restitution which may be ordered from the county which prosecutes her DUI case. An injury lawyer will also make sure all health insurance and/or medical payments coverage (this is on an auto insurance policy) covers your medical care as well. Finally, any and all sources of liability should be examined as well. For example, while she is obviously liable for most/all of the damages, there are potential other third parties who could be at fault (the bar or private party where she got drunk if applicable, roadway design, emergency personnel for not moving the vehicle or setting up cones, flashers, etc., and potential others). But yes, you should hire a personal injury attorney for this situation.
