Dallas Personal Injury Attorney
Individuals who are sick or experiencing pain turn to hospitals, doctors, and other healthcare professionals to help them feel better. Patients trust medical professionals to provide safe, quality care. Unfortunately, healthcare practitioners do make mistakes do happen and sometimes fail to exercise proper judgment.
Medical errors are one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., according to reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Shocking numbers show that roughly 99,000 Americans are fatal victims of preventable hospital infections on a yearly basis. These individuals only do as they are told and seek medical attention for an injury or illness, and as a result, they end up dying.

- Psychiatric abuse
- Misdiagnosis

Pharmaceutical Errors
The pharmaceutical industry is a multi-billion dollar industry focused on processing and developing new medications for different illnesses or pain. The problem arises when prescription drug manufacturers are more concerned with releasing their newest prescription without the proper testing time required to ensure the drug is safe for consumers. Oftentimes, individuals are impacted by the side effects of prescription drugs and end up with a worse condition than before. This is a time in which a Dallas personal injury lawyer is necessary to battle the giant pharmaceutical companies responsible for their errors. When an individual is injured or killed due to prescription medications, the victim or surviving family may be entitled to compensation through a product liability claim against the pharmaceutical company.
