Legal Question


My son recently lost his life as a direct result of gross medical malpractice/neglect. Much to my disgust, I have found that because of Texas' tort reform laws, his doctors will not have to answer for their actions...too expensive to pursue...cap on damages....how pathetic. My son died a painful, agonizing death; if not for his doctors, he would be alive today.

It has become my life's goal to either overturn the Texas tort reform laws or have the cap on damages raised to at least on million dollars. As the tort reform laws are written, anyone damaged or killed by the medical community has absolutely no recourse under the law unless they are extremely wealthy and can afford all the expenses involved in pursuing a medical malpractice lawsuit. In Texas, doctors have a license to kill with no consequences whatsoever.

I need advice from med/mal attorneys on how to proceed. Do I write my state rep., the governor?

Please. ANY help or advice will be helpful.

Since my son's illness, I was amazed at how blatently incompetent many doctors and hospitals are. I have met many people along the way who have had family members seriously injured and/or killed at the hands of the medical comminity. In Texas, these people have a license to kill with absolutely no consequences at all. Medical Malprectice lawsuits are NOT FRIVILOUS!
