Holding Healthcare Providers Accountable
When you seek medical care, you place your health and your life in the hands of professionals you trust. When that trust is violated through negligence, carelessness, or incompetence, the consequences can be devastating and permanent. If you or a family member has been the victim of medical malpractice in Magnolia, Conroe, The Woodlands, Willis, or anywhere in Montgomery County, The Ghezzi Law Firm is here to fight for justice. Attorney John Ghezzi brings more than 30 years of litigation experience and provides direct attorney access to every client — because medical malpractice cases are too important to delegate to paralegals or case managers.
Surgical errors represent some of the most alarming forms of medical malpractice. These include wrong-site surgeries, operations performed on the wrong patient, instruments or sponges left inside the body, anesthesia errors, nerve damage during procedures, and post-operative complications caused by substandard care. Patients at hospitals and surgical centers throughout Montgomery County deserve competent surgical care, and when healthcare providers fall below the accepted standard, they must be held accountable for the harm they cause.
A misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can have life-altering consequences. When a physician fails to correctly identify a condition such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, or infection, the patient loses critical time during which treatment could have been effective. By the time the correct diagnosis is finally made, the disease may have progressed to an advanced or untreatable stage. These cases require careful analysis of the diagnostic process to demonstrate that a reasonably competent physician would have made the correct diagnosis under the same circumstances.
Medication errors are alarmingly common in the healthcare system and can occur at every stage — from prescribing the wrong drug or dosage to pharmacy dispensing errors and nursing administration mistakes. These errors can cause allergic reactions, dangerous drug interactions, overdoses, organ damage, and death. Patients at hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and long-term care facilities in Conroe, The Woodlands, Magnolia, and surrounding areas have the right to receive medications safely and accurately.
The birth of a child should be a joyful event, but negligent obstetric care can transform it into a tragedy. Birth injuries caused by medical negligence include cerebral palsy from oxygen deprivation, Erb’s palsy from improper delivery technique, skull fractures, brain hemorrhages, and maternal injuries from delayed or improper C-sections. These injuries often result in lifelong disabilities that require extensive medical care, therapy, and special education. The Ghezzi Law Firm is committed to helping families secure the resources their children will need for a lifetime of care.
Texas imposes specific procedural requirements on medical malpractice claims that do not apply to other personal injury cases. Before filing suit, you must provide 60 days’ written notice to each healthcare provider you intend to sue. Within 120 days of filing your lawsuit, you must serve an expert report from a qualified medical professional that identifies the applicable standard of care, explains how the provider breached that standard, and establishes a causal connection between the breach and your injury. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in dismissal of your case with prejudice.
Additionally, Texas caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000 per individual healthcare provider and $500,000 per healthcare institution, with a combined cap of $750,000 for non-economic damages. These caps make it essential to have an attorney who can maximize your economic damage recovery — including past and future medical costs, lost earnings, and loss of earning capacity — where no caps apply.
Montgomery County is served by numerous hospitals, surgical centers, urgent care clinics, and physician practices, including facilities in Conroe, The Woodlands, Magnolia, and Willis.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury to the patient. This can include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and failure to treat a condition. You must be able to show that the provider's negligence directly caused your harm.
Yes, Texas caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000 per physician or healthcare provider. For healthcare institutions (hospitals, clinics, nursing facilities, etc.), the cap is $250,000 per institution, with an aggregate maximum of $500,000 when multiple institutions are involved. However, there is no cap on economic damages like medical bills and lost wages. The Ghezzi Law Firm will fight to maximize your total recovery within these legal parameters.
You generally have two years from the date of the malpractice, or from when you discovered or should have discovered the injury, to file a claim. Texas also has a 10-year statute of repose that serves as an absolute deadline in most cases. Because of these strict timelines, consulting an attorney promptly is critical.
Yes, Texas law requires a qualified medical expert to provide a written report within 120 days of filing your claim. This expert must confirm that the healthcare provider deviated from the standard of care and that this deviation caused your injury. Attorney Ghezzi works with respected medical experts to build strong, credible cases.
Common medical errors include surgical mistakes, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, anesthesia errors, birth injuries, and prescription drug errors. Failure to obtain informed consent before a procedure can also be grounds for a malpractice claim. Each of these errors can lead to devastating consequences for patients and their families.
The Ghezzi Law Firm handles medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing unless we win.
