Experienced Medical
Malpractice Lawyers in South Texas
A Harvard Medical Practice Study estimated that, each year, more than 180,000 people die, at least in part, because of medical mistakes. Public Citizen, a non-profit organization which advocates the rights of consumers, estimates that, each year, 1.3 million injuries are caused by negligence, and that more than two-thirds of these injuries are preventable.
Despite those statistics, medical malpractice actions are extremely complicated to pursue.
The health care industry and the insurance companies which handle the claims on behalf of the physicians and other medical professionals have been very aggressive (and successful) in lobbying for laws that make it tough for plaintiffs to win. And they are very aggressive in defending claims against the physicians and hospitals they insure.
The attorneys at the Law Offices of Tinsman & Sciano have learned that to take on the hospitals and doctors, substantial resources are necessary. We have those resources, and the size and strength necessary to go the distance for our clients.
