Navigating Texas Birth Injury Cases

How Sandoval Law Firm Builds Strong Legal Claims for Families

When a joyous occasion like childbirth turns into a nightmare due to medical negligence, families are left searching for answers—and justice. At Sandoval Law Firm, we understand how overwhelming it can be to face the aftermath of a birth injury. That’s why we’re committed to guiding Texas families through every step of the legal process, offering compassionate support and aggressive legal representation.

Understanding Texas Medical Malpractice Laws

Texas has specific and often complicated laws when it comes to medical malpractice cases, especially those involving birth injuries. These laws can affect everything from the timeframe you have to file a claim to the amount of compensation you can recover. That’s where our expertise becomes critical.

In Texas, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice is generally two years from the date the injury occurred. However, in birth injury cases—because the victim is a minor—there may be extended time to file. Even so, delays can weaken evidence and make it harder to pursue justice. Our firm acts quickly to preserve medical records, consult with experts, and initiate a full investigation.

“We move fast because time isn’t on your side—and every moment counts when your child’s future is at stake.”
— Hector L. Sandoval, Attorney at Law

What Makes a Birth Injury Case Strong in Texas?

A strong birth injury case starts with identifying who was at fault. At Sandoval Law Firm, we evaluate multiple angles:

• Physician negligence (failure to monitor fetal distress, delayed C-section, misuse of delivery tools)

• Hospital liability (inadequate training, understaffing, poor safety protocols)

• Nursing errors (medication mistakes, lack of monitoring)

• Defective equipment (malfunctioning fetal monitors or delivery tools)

We work closely with board-certified medical experts to review your child’s medical records and pinpoint exactly where and how the standard of care was violated.

Texas Damage Caps: What You Should Know

Texas law limits certain kinds of compensation in medical malpractice cases. Non-economic damages—such as emotional distress or loss of quality of life—are capped at $250,000 per provider, and a total of $500,000 across all providers. However, economic damages, such as future medical care, therapy, and home modifications, are not capped.

That’s why it’s essential to work with an attorney who knows how to calculate and present the full scope of your damages, especially the long-term financial impact of caring for a child with a birth injury.

“We dig deep to show the full financial reality families will face—not just today, but for years to come.”
