The far western corner of Texas — nearer to New Mexico than to any other large Texas city.
University Medical Center of El Paso is the county's public hospital, and The Hospitals of Providence and Las Palmas Medical Center carry much of the rest. A metro this far from anywhere else keeps its complex care at home rather than transferring it out, and that shapes a claim in two opposite ways. The record is often more contained than in a multi-system city, because most of the care was delivered inside one organisation. The pool of local physicians able to review that care independently is, for the same reason, smaller — which is usually why an outside reviewing physician is needed.
El Paso is 745 miles from our office — further from Houston than Houston is from most of the states around it. Distance is a firm's problem to solve, not a client's. The first conversation happens by phone or video, records are requested and reviewed the same way they would be for a Houston case, and we come to El Paso when the case requires us there.

Questions El Paso 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.
