Tens of millions of Americans use telehealth platforms annually. The convenience is real, but so is the risk of error. A physician who conducts a telehealth visit assumes a duty of care to that patient, and if a negligent decision during that visit causes injury, the patient may have a malpractice claim.

Telehealth visits are convenient, but they aren't a liability shield for doctors. If a remote provider's negligence caused you harm in Texas, a malpractice claim may be available. Here's what you need to know.

Losing a loved one is devastating. The last thing a grieving family expects is to wonder whether the IRS will take a portion of a wrongful death settlement.

Are Texas wrongful death settlements taxable? The answer isn’t always a simple yes or no. How compensation is categorized, including damages for lost income, emotional loss, medical expenses, or punitive damages, can affect how it is treated for tax purposes.

Before the money arrives, families should understand what may be taxable, what generally isn’t, and why the way a settlement is structured can matter.

Most Texas families don't know whether wrongful death settlement money is taxable until it's too late. Here's an explanation of the general rules and why you need individualized tax advice before funds are distributed.

Neonatal jaundice affects about 60% of full-term and 80% of preterm newborns in their first week of life. Most cases are harmless and resolve on their own or with phototherapy. But when severe jaundice goes unrecognized or untreated, it can lead to irreversible brain injury (kernicterus), causing cerebral palsy, hearing loss, vision impairment, and lifelong disability. These devastating outcomes are almost entirely preventable with timely monitoring and treatment.

Kernicterus, permanent brain damage from untreated newborn jaundice, is largely preventable. If your baby developed kernicterus after a delayed or missed jaundice diagnosis, a Texas birth injury claim may be possible.

The loss of a loved one is a life-altering event. When that loss was preventable - caused by negligence, recklessness, or misconduct - the grief is often compounded by unanswered questions, frustration, and a desire for accountability.

The most important lesson from wrongful death lawsuits that made a difference is that accountability matters.

Repeated UTIs and dehydration in a nursing home are not inevitable signs of aging, they are often signs of neglect. A Texas nursing home abuse attorney explains what families need to know.
