Protecting You

Who I Work With

I work with people who have suffered serious injury to their bodies, their minds, or their careers at the hands of others. Although each case is different, I often tell their story with friends, family, medical records or other documents, treating healthcare providers, photographs, and sometimes even testimony from the wrongdoers themselves. If the case requires it, I build a team of support personnel or consulting or testifying experts, who all work together to present the culprit’s conduct and the client’s injury in a way juries can understand it. If you’ve suffered severe harm, let’s talk about the best way to help a jury understand how to do the right thing.

Employment rules, policies and procedures aren’t always what they seem.

Wrongful Termination

If you believe you have been unjustly terminated from your job, we will thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding your case, and if your employer has violated the law, we will pursue the compensation you deserve.

Retaliation: Protecting Your Rights and Seeking Justice

Medical Malpractice

According to a recent article on the website for the National Institute of Health, medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for 9.5% of all U.S. deaths (a higher percentage than Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Germany or the U.K.). Medical mistakes, medication errors and laboratory errors increased from 22% to 48% if four or more doctors were involved in the patient’s care. Worst of all, 75% of patients were not told about the mistakes their healthcare providers made.

Despite these staggering statistics and the need for change in the healthcare we receive, Texas law treats medical negligence cases harshly, with strict and expensive requirements just to bring the case at all – driving up the cost and creating substantial risk for plaintiff’s attorneys. At the same time, Texas limits the amount of recovery available, capping non-economic damages such pain and suffering and mental anguish are capped at $250,000 (a second cap is sometimes available), often making medical malpractice cases impossible to pursue.

You as a patient did your job: you showed up for appointments, made your payments arrangements, were honest about your medical history, took medication as prescribed and followed direction about your care. Did your healthcare providers do their jobs – did they qualify, train and supervise their personnel to run the right test, listen to you, monitor, assess and reassess your condition, protection you from contamination and infection, and either diagnose and treat you correctly or get you to the right healthcare professionals who could?

When they don’t, Walt Taylor knows what that feels like. We would appreciate the opportunity to evaluate your case, but because of the obstacles Texas law puts in our way, we need time. Texas requires filing suit within roughly 2 years of the medical error, and this often requires weeks or months of medical record retrieval, review and medical research to determine what happened and what should have happened. You should contact a qualified medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible, and our firm seldom reviews cases where more than six months to a year has passed.

Texas law makes pursuing medical malpractice cases expensive while significantly limiting what an injured patient can recover. Because of these economic realities, we can only take very few of the cases we are asked to review, but we see your case as being about more than money. Even if we can’t take your case, we want everyone’s healthcare to get better. Did you know there are other avenues you can pursue that might improve the quality of our healthcare?
