The Coastal Bend's hospital city — and where children from a wide stretch of South Texas are sent for specialist care.
CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi–Shoreline and Bay Area Hospital handle much of the adult work, and Driscoll Children's Hospital draws paediatric patients from far outside Nueces County. That referral pattern matters in a claim involving a child. The case frequently begins somewhere else entirely — a smaller hospital or clinic in a surrounding county that recognised the child needed more than it could provide — and continues in Corpus Christi. The question of what was seen, and when, is usually answered in the first record, not the second.
Corpus Christi is 211 miles south of our office, a straightforward drive. Coastal Bend families are used to travelling inland for specialists; they should not also have to travel to find someone willing to read the chart.

Questions Corpus Christi Families Ask
Is it worth suing for medical malpractice?
That depends on what the medical records show and what the injury has cost. A review asks whether the care fell below the accepted standard, whether that is connected to the harm, and what the ongoing needs are. Having the records reviewed costs a family nothing and does not commit them to filing anything.
What are examples of medical negligence?
The categories that come up most often are a missed or delayed diagnosis, a surgical error, a medication mistake, a failure to monitor a patient whose condition was changing, and failures during labor and delivery. Whether any of them amounts to negligence in a particular case is a question for qualified expert review of the complete records.
How much does a medical malpractice lawyer cost?
Thomas & Wan works on a contingency fee: there is no fee unless there is a recovery. The initial case review is free, and families are not asked to pay anything up front.
How difficult is it to sue for malpractice in Texas?
Texas applies strict procedural requirements to medical malpractice claims, including a qualified expert report on a strict statutory timeline. That is why these cases are usually handled by firms that focus on them, and why gathering the records early matters.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
A strict statutory timeline applies in Texas, and some circumstances can change it. Because records become harder to assemble as time passes, the safest course is to have the file reviewed early rather than wait.
Texas Has Strict Filing Deadlines
Texas law generally gives medical-malpractice victims a limited window to file, and building a case takes time — records, experts, and a required expert report. The sooner you call, the more options you have.
