Birth Injury Lawsuits in Texas: What Parents Need to Know

Texas families face unique legal challenges when it comes to pursuing a birth injury claim

The state has strict deadlines—known as statutes of limitations—which limit how long you have to take legal action. In most cases, a medical malpractice claim involving a birth injury must be filed within two years of the date the injury occurred. However, exceptions may apply if the injured child is a minor, so it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

At Sandoval Law Firm, we understand the intricacies of Texas medical malpractice laws and how to build strong cases for families affected by preventable birth injuries. Whether the negligence occurred in a large hospital system in Houston, a rural delivery clinic, or anywhere in between, our legal team is prepared to investigate, consult with medical experts, and pursue justice on your behalf.

Texas law also places caps on certain types of damages, particularly non-economic damages like pain and suffering. That makes it even more critical to work with a lawyer who knows how to maximize every aspect of your claim—ensuring your family receives the full compensation allowed under the law for medical costs, therapy, in-home care, and future needs.

“As a Texas-based attorney, I’ve seen how hard hospitals and insurers fight to avoid responsibility. But your child’s future is worth fighting for—and I won’t back down.”
