The referral centre for the South Plains — the hospital city for a region very much larger than the county.
University Medical Center is the teaching hospital attached to the Texas Tech health sciences campus, Covenant Medical Center carries much of the rest of the adult work, and UMC Children's Hospital takes the paediatric cases. Patients arrive from towns two and three hours away, because Lubbock is where the region's serious medicine is. In a malpractice case that means the file rarely starts in Lubbock. The sending facility's record — what was observed, what was tried, and how long it was tried before the patient was moved — is often where the answer is.
Lubbock is 524 miles north-west of Houston, and West Texas families are routinely told a case is too far away to take. That is a statement about a firm's logistics, not about the strength of a claim. The medicine and the Texas procedural requirements are identical to a case down the road from our office.

Questions Lubbock 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.
