Filing Deadlines for Medical Malpractice Cases in Dallas
Timing is crucial when pursuing a medical malpractice case in Dallas. Texas law sets a strict time limit, generally two years from the date of the incident, to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline could lead to dismissal of your case.
However, exceptions may apply based on specific circumstances. Our medical malpractice attorneys will assess your case and determine the applicable filing deadline, ensuring you take prompt action.

At Painter Law Firm, we firmly believe that you shouldn't bear the financial burden of someone else's negligence. We will fight to obtain fair and just compensation for various losses, including:
- Past and Present Healthcare Expenses: Covering medical treatments, hospitalizations, ambulance services, and other necessary care.
- Lost Income and Related Expenses: Seeking compensation for employment-related losses and any reduction in your earning capacity due to your injuries.
- Pain and Suffering: Advocating for compensation for the physical and emotional trauma you've endured.
- Various Injury-Related Expenses: Pursuing damages for loss of consortium, disability, scarring, funeral expenses, and property damage in relevant cases.
Understanding Comparative Fault in Texas Medical Malpractice Cases
In Texas, a modified comparative fault system means your recoverable compensation may be reduced if you're partially at fault for your injuries. Having skilled medical malpractice attorneys on your side is vital to countering undue blame.
