Veteran's Administration Medical Malpractice

With rampant medical negligence and intentional abuse and neglect by careless or inadequately trained staff, Texas Veteran’s Administration hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes are a disgrace. When doctors, nurses, healthcare workers, and the VA hospital or facility that employ them do not follow standards of practice required by law, patients suffer. These patients-the men and women who served or currently serve our country in the armed forces and their families-deserve better.  The Veteran’s Administration Medical Malpractice Attorneys of Eberstein & Witherite, LLP, are committed to recovering for them the services or compensation that they deserve.

Working closely with our forensic investigators and medical experts, our team of litigators has won compensation for our Texas veterans who suffered needlessly because of carelessness, recklessness, or willful negligence on the part of a health professional including:

We successfully convinced a jury to award over $1 million to the surviving spouse and children of a patient whose EKG doctors had failed to properly review and note potential heart problems prior to minor surgery, resulting in complications and death.

We negotiated a $1 million settlement for the surviving spouse and children of a patient whose headache was misdiagnosed, resulting in a stroke, bleeding on the brain, and eventual death.

We won a $1.75 million recovery for the family of a man who suffered a devastating stroke, which an emergency department failed to timely diagnose or treat.  Rather, the examining physician diagnosed the patient with pneumonia and discharged him.  Three other law firms refused to take the case before own team agreed to help the family pursue their legal rights.

The father of our clients suffered multiple bedsores while a patient in a Texas hospital.  For the family, we recovered the remaining available insurance worth $925,000.

Drawing on the experience we gained helping many Veteran’s Administration patients and families who have suffered like you or your loved one are now, we can accurately evaluate your case and provide important information about your legal rights to pursue compensation. The multiple successes we have had in the courtroom and at the settlement negotiation table enable us to accurately estimate the amount you can expect to recover if you choose to file a lawsuit. Our litigators and forensic experts are also able to recognize when a negative outcome of a medical procedure or Veteran’s Administration hospital stay is not actually medical malpractice.  This valuable information can save you time and effort that can be better spent caring for yourself or your loved one.

Recent changes in state and federal laws limit the ability of some injured to collect compensation for a negligent medical error. It is important that you fully understand your legal rights and options.
