Medical Malpractice Representation in Austin

Travis County — a city whose hospital medicine has been rebuilt around a new medical school in little more than a decade.

Dell Seton Medical Center is the teaching hospital for the university's medical school, and the St. David's and Ascension Seton networks carry much of the rest of the city's work. The city has grown quickly and its hospital capacity has been chasing that growth. For a claim, the practical consequence is that one patient's care often crosses two competing networks in a single episode — admitted through one, transferred or referred into another — and neither system holds the whole file. Reconstructing what happened means requesting from both and reading them against each other.

Austin is the closest of the Texas cities we serve — 162 miles, a straightforward drive either direction. Plenty of Austin firms do commercial, legislative or general injury work. Very few build their practice around hospital records and expert physician review, which is what these cases actually require.
