well in texas
00:05
the laws of medical malpractice
00:08
uh have changed over the past almost 20
00:12
years and made it more and more
00:13
difficult for clients to get
00:16
a good recovery based on the bad
00:19
treatment or bad
00:22
the malpractice that they were victims
00:24
of
00:25
a lot of attorneys in texas have
00:29
either stopped doing it entirely or
00:32
don’t practice within the state anymore
00:34
due to the caps
00:35
on damages and the procedural
00:37
requirements that make it very very
00:39
expensive
00:40
we started taking medical malpractice
00:43
cases
00:44
probably 15 years ago and
00:47
we get an awful lot of clients who
00:51
want to discuss their cases either in
00:54
the medical malpractice setting or even
00:58
dental malpractice settings and
01:01
unfortunately the law is such that
01:05
a lot of situations that you would think
01:07
have merit
01:08
and are just cases are really not
01:12
economically feasible in texas so
01:16
we are very careful to explain to
01:19
anybody who contacts our firm
01:21
as to how the law applies to their
01:23
situation
01:24
and what the challenges are in bringing
01:27
a successful medical malpractice case

Houston, TX personal injury lawyer Shane Kadlec talks about his experience in handling medical malpractice cases. He highlights that in Texas, the laws surrounding medical malpractice have changed significantly over the past two decades, making it increasingly difficult for clients to obtain a meaningful recovery for negligent or substandard medical care. Many attorneys in the state have either stopped handling these cases entirely or no longer practice in Texas due to caps on damages and procedural requirements that make pursuing such claims very costly.

He began taking medical malpractice cases around 15 years ago and sees a substantial number of clients seeking advice in both medical and dental malpractice matters. Unfortunately, the law in Texas often makes cases that might otherwise seem meritorious economically unfeasible. He is careful to explain to every prospective client how the law applies to their situation and what the practical challenges are in pursuing a successful medical malpractice claim.
