Houston Medical Malpractice Attorney
For 22 years, attorney Joe Stephens has been helping people recover compensation after they are injured or their conditions worsen due to the negligence of a healthcare provider. Though most doctors and nurses are dedicated, careful professionals, and we are very fortunate to have some of the best medical facilities in the world in Houston, mistakes do happen. Medical care is complex and often involves many different specialists and other personnel. Sometimes, someone simply fails to perform his or her job properly. Other times, an institution such as a hospital fails to implement proper patient care processes.
