Practice Areas Description

- Medical Malpractice

When you go to a medical professional, you trust that everything possible will be done to take care of your medical condition. Medical care isn't an area that leaves room for errors or negligence. When a doctor makes a mistake, it can result in a serious health problem. Winckler & Harvey, L.L.P., is one of the prominent medical malpractice law firms serving the litigation needs of clients throughout Texas.


- Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

What should you do if you have been injured because of a doctor's negligence? Don't expect the hospital or the doctor's medical insurance to take care of you. Over the past several years medical insurers have had much success protecting themselves against lawsuits. To win a medical malpractice lawsuit, you will be required to show that your doctor's mistake led directly to an injury and the treatment caused you significant damages.


- Anesthesia Negligence

When you go into the operating room, you are putting your life into the hands of a anesthesiologist or CRNA. Every decision about oxygen, blood pressure and time are critical to your survival. A simple mistake like failing to monitor oxygen and blood pressure can result in death or catastrophic brain and organ damage. Winckler & Harvey, L.L.P. is a prominent medical malpractice law firm representing victims of anesthesia and surgical errors throughout Texas.


- Birth Injury and Birthing Complications

A birth injury is traumatic for a child, as well as the entire family. A baby suffering a serious brain injury or muscle and organ damage during birth may require a lifetime of medical care. For the family, it could mean 24-hour institutional care for the rest of the child's life. Parents may need to consider legal action against the negligent doctor and hospital because significant financial resources will be required for many years.


- Brain Injuries

Nothing will have more of an impact on an injury victim and family members like a traumatic brain injury. A surgical brain injury can mean a lifetime of medical care and rehabilitation. The entire family is affected, as 24-hour home or institutionalized treatment may become necessary. Winckler & Harvey, L.L.P. is a prominent medical malpractice trial firm that focuses entirely on representing clients injured because of someone else's negligence.


- Heart Attacks and Heart Disorders

The signs of an impending heart attack vary. Chest pain is a symptom, but it is rarely the only one. Doctors and hospital staff are responsible for monitoring and recognizing the symptoms of cardiac arrest. Statistics show that women, more oftentimes than men, are misdiagnosed when it comes to cardiac issues.


- Hospital Negligence

Medical malpractice litigation is complex. It is often difficult to determine who is truly responsible for the medical negligence. Physicians and surgeons are not typically employed by the hospital and are often insured by different malpractice policies. Hospitals may blame the doctor involved, and the doctor may claim that the error was due to staff negligence.


- Paralysis, Quadriplegia and Paraplegia

The nervous system is a fragile system in the human body. A single mistake made by an anesthetist or a surgeon during an operation can result in permanent damage to the spine and central nervous system that can leave the patient paralyzed for life. If someone in your family has suffered serious spinal cord damage or paralysis after a surgery, there may have been negligence on the part of the hospital, surgeon or staff.


- Infections

Hospitals are held to the strictest standards for hygiene and safety, yet every year thousands of patients contract hospital acquired infections, like MRSA, following surgery or during recovery. Negligence cases resulting in infections are difficult cases to prove and should only be handled by experienced attorneys. Your lawyer must prove that hygiene regulations were ignored and that the violations caused an infection to develop.


- Personal Injury Claims

The personal injury attorneys of Winckler & Harvey, L.L.P. focus on achieving full compensation for individuals with injuries, throughout the state of Texas. We also represent clients in legal malpractice litigation, for those who have received substandard or misleading legal advice from their attorneys.

- Nursing Home Negligence

The personal injury attorneys and nursing home lawyers at our Austin Texas law firm, have represented plaintiffs in a wide range of nursing home abuse and neglect cases including death cases, amputations, dehydration, wrong medication, hip fractures and sexual assault. We feel an important aspect in these cases is not only to receive compensation for the current victim but, by taking action, to prevent future occurrences to other residents.


- Automobile Accidents

Our personal injury lawyers and auto accident attorneys have achieved significant recoveries on behalf of those injured in car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents and 18 wheeler crashes. High speeds can result in car accident fatalities, although even moderate speed car accidents and fenders benders can result in serious or catastrophic injuries. Car accidents are one of the most common sources of personal injury litigation in Texas.


- Truck Wrecks

Our personal injury lawyers and Texas truck accident attorneys, and personal injury lawyers have achieved significant recoveries on behalf of those injured in semi tractor-trailer accidents and other types of motor vehicle accidents. Due to its vast area, Texas has many major freeways passing through it. Unfortunately, in any accident with a truck, the automobile drivers and passengers are often the victims of serious or catastrophic injuries.


- Construction Site Injuries

Our lawyers have handled and achieved significant recoveries for many employees and independent contractors that received injuries at construction sites or Texas oilfields. Construction sites have heavy machinery, dangerous tools and a great many situations that can result in an injury if OSHA precautions aren't taken and proper training or supervision isn't in place.


- Defective Products

Our attorneys have decades of experience and an excellent track record of representing individuals who have been injured as a result of an unsafe product that was designed, manufactured, sold, and/or furnished by a person or company. These cases are complex matters, requiring a law firm with sufficient resources to investigate the case, and prepare it for trial.


- Legal Malpractice

In addition to our expertise in medical malpractice, our lawyers are experienced in professional malpractice law involving a variety of professionals such as those in the legal field. Our legal malpractice attorneys can help clients determine whether or not malpractice has occurred if someone is harmed as a result of negligence or misconduct by individuals in the legal, accounting, architectural, or other professional fields.
