Possibly. However, you in all likelihood have to go through the Medical Review Panel before you can sue in court. Additionally, you are only entitled to one damage award, so whether you get it from just the doctor or the doctor and facility may not actually matter. Also, if the doctor is an agent for the facility and committed malpractice, you may already have a claim against the medical facility.
