All We Do is
Medical Malpractice

At Thomas & Wan, the ONLY cases we handle are medical malpractice cases. No car wrecks, no criminal cases, no divorce cases. Just medical malpractice. Would you hire an eye doctor to perform your heart surgery? Of course not. The same is true for lawyers—when you need a medical malpractice lawyer, you want a lawyer that specializes in medical malpractice cases. Medical negligence cases in Texas have specific laws and rules that other types of cases don’t have, and these laws and rules change often.

You need a law firm that knows medical malpractice law and does medical malpractice cases every single day. Linda Thomas and Michelle Wan do. We know the ins and outs of medical malpractice, hospital negligence, doctor and nurse negligence, and birth injury negligence.

Frequently Asked Questions

The first step is for us to help you get a copy of all your medical records. Then we work with our team of expert doctors and nurses to review the records to let us know if you have a case.

If we feel you have a case, we will have our team of experts determine how much money it will take to pay for the past medical bills and future quality medical care for you or your loved one for the rest of his or her life.

We work on a contingency basis. This means that you only pay a percentage for our services if we win a verdict or settlement for your family. If no recovery is made, you pay nothing.

There are very few attorneys in Texas who specialize in medical malpractice, and those are the only kind of cases we do. Linda Thomas and Michelle Wan have over 55 years of combined experience in medical cases. If we take your case, we work on your case ourselves; we don’t “flip” it to another firm.

Thomas & Wan did a great job representing me and my family against the owner of our apartment complex. We have just moved in when our daughter was shot in the head by a stray bullet while she was sleeping in her bed. It was a miracle she survived. The lawyers at Thomas & Wan went to work right away and through research found out that there had been five murders at that complex the year before. They also found out that the complex didn’t hire security to patrol at night. They were able to settle the case without even having to go to trial. Now we’re going to have the money to take care of our little girl’s needs now and in the future.

After being abandoned by my original lawyer who was greedy for money, Linda was a TRUE answer to my prayers. She is after JUSTICE, not money. She has spent COUNTLESS hours researching my case and asking just the right questions. She has the heart of a saint; she really cares about her clients and it shows. I have emailed her outside of our visits asking for updates or just addressing concerns I have, and she answers right away. I also have been very anxious and stressed with my case as I suffer from PTSD due to it, and she is kind, gentle, and reassuring. It truly is having an angel by your side! I don’t know where I’d be without her, but I’m getting JUSTICE. If you want a piece of Heaven on Earth in your corner, GET LINDA!! She will fight for YOU, WITH you!
