Many law firms would never consider taking on a medical malpractice case. If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury after a medical professional failed to administer the accepted standard of care at a Fort Worth or Tarrant County facility, you deserve justice.
Potential Causes: Failure to diagnose, surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication errors, failure to treat.
Liable Parties: Doctors, psychiatrists, dentists, nurses, surgeons, hospitals, or clinics.
Seek Medical Attention: Even if injuries seem minor, medical records are critical evidence. Keep detailed records of appointments and expenses.
Document Everything: Take photos of the scene, injuries, property damage, and hazards. Get witness contact info.
Report the Incident: File a police report with the Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD), notify property owners, or inform employers as required.
Contact an Attorney: Texas generally has a two-year statute of limitations. Early legal representation allows for better evidence gathering and protection against insurance company tactics.
Decades of Experience: We have the resources and knowledge to handle complex, catastrophic injuries and wrongful death across Tarrant County.
We Know the Other Side: Our founding attorneys previously defended insurance companies; we use that inside knowledge to counter their tactics.
Proven Track Record: $1B+ recovered and recognition as ‘Best Lawyers’ and ‘Top Attorneys in FW Magazine.’

Nothing is more devastating than when a baby suffers an injury during birth. When a medical professional fails to act quickly when a baby is distressed, the child may suffer injuries due to lack of oxygen, physical damage, or both.
While not all birth injuries are caused by negligent medical care, in some cases, the doctor fails to deliver the accepted standard of care, and a lawsuit should be filed to pursue justice and financial compensation.
The types of actions that may indicate a breach (violation) of the standard of care include:
Quick Answer
Can I recover more compensation if multiple parties caused my injury?
Potentially yes. Each liable party may carry their own insurance policy. Identifying multiple defendants — such as a negligent driver, their employer, a property owner, and a product manufacturer — can open up multiple sources of recovery that a single-defendant case would not. This is one of the most important reasons to hire an attorney who investigates the full picture, not just the obvious party.

It can be a difficult decision to place a relative in a nursing home. A nursing home can provide care that family members may not be able to deliver, especially when an older adult has severe medical or cognitive issues.

Prescription medications come with side effects, most of which are known and warned against. Additionally, the drug must be administered in the correct dose to be safe. When a medication has been distributed in the wrong amount, it can harm the patient. Pharmacists, nurses, prescribing doctors, or other professionals can cause prescription errors.
When a prescription dosage error severely harms a patient, the consequences can include serious complications, including long-term physical damage or loss of life. The prescription drug could consist of the following:
No workplace is entirely safe, and even a quiet office could have hazards that lead to severe injuries or loss of life. Some professions have inherent dangers, including the construction industry, education, and healthcare. If you or a loved one was seriously injured while performing work duties, speaking with Frenkel & Frenkel about what occurred is imperative.
Employees at some businesses have access to workers’ compensation benefits. In many cases, a third party other than the employer may be liable, such as:
A car accident happens when negligent driving causes a collision. Distracted driving, speeding, running red lights, and drunk driving are common causes. These crashes can result in serious injuries including whiplash, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
A slip and fall occurs when a property owner fails to maintain safe conditions. Wet floors, broken stairs, poor lighting, uneven surfaces, and hidden hazards create dangers for visitors. Property owners who ignore these conditions or fail to warn guests may be liable for resulting injuries including fractures, head trauma, and soft tissue damage.
Workers face hazards in construction sites, warehouses, offices, and industrial facilities. Unsafe equipment, inadequate training, lack of safety gear, and dangerous working conditions cause serious injuries. While workers' compensation provides some benefits, third-party liability claims against negligent contractors or equipment manufacturers may provide additional compensation.
Medical malpractice occurs when healthcare providers fail to meet accepted standards of care. Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and delayed treatment can cause permanent harm or death. These cases require expert testimony and thorough investigation to prove negligence and secure compensation.
Wrongful death claims arise when negligence takes a loved one's life. Car accidents, workplace incidents, medical errors, and defective products can all result in fatal injuries. Surviving family members may recover compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and the devastating impact of their loss.
Defective products cause injuries when design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings make them dangerous. Faulty vehicles, dangerous drugs, defective medical devices, and unsafe consumer products can all cause serious harm. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers may all be held liable for injuries caused by defective products.
Your first priority is your health and safety. Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor. Call 911 if needed. If you're able, document the scene with photos, get contact information from witnesses, and report the incident to the appropriate authorities (police for car accidents, property owner or manager for slip and falls, employer for workplace injuries). Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies before consulting an attorney. Keep all medical records, bills, and receipts related to your injury. Contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve evidence.
Multiple parties may share liability depending on the circumstances. This can include negligent drivers in car accidents, property owners in slip and fall cases, employers or third parties in workplace injuries, healthcare providers in medical malpractice cases, product manufacturers in defective product cases, or any individual or entity whose negligence caused your harm. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as you are not more than 50% responsible. An experienced attorney can identify all liable parties and their insurance policies to maximize your recovery.
Texas law generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are important exceptions. Medical malpractice claims have different deadlines. Cases against government entities require notice within six months. Wrongful death claims have a two-year statute of limitations from the date of death. If you were a minor when injured, different rules may apply. Some cases involving delayed discovery of injuries may have extended deadlines. Missing the statute of limitations deadline means losing your right to compensation forever, so it's critical to consult an attorney as soon as possible after your injury.
Texas follows a "modified comparative negligence" rule with a 51% bar. This means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the accident. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you suffered $100,000 in damages but were found 20% at fault, you would recover $80,000. If you are found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover anything. Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto victims to reduce payouts. Having an experienced attorney protect your interests and fight unfair blame-shifting tactics is essential to maximizing your recovery.
Texas law allows injury victims to recover several types of damages. Economic damages include past and future medical expenses, hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, prescription medications, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and property damage. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, and physical impairment. In cases involving gross negligence, intentional harm, or particularly reckless conduct, courts may award punitive damages to punish the defendant and deter future misconduct. Wrongful death cases may include funeral expenses and loss of companionship. The full value depends on the severity of injuries, impact on your life, and strength of evidence.
No. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, and anything you say can be used against you. They may ask leading questions, request recorded statements, or pressure you into quick settlements before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Early settlement offers are almost always far less than cases are worth. Once you accept a settlement and sign a release, you give up the right to pursue additional compensation, even if complications arise later. Politely decline to give recorded statements and refer them to your attorney. Having legal representation levels the playing field and ensures insurance companies take your claim seriously.
