Medical Malpractice
Service Areas
We accept Medical Malpractice & Wrongful Death cases across Corpus Christi, Laredo, and the Rio Grande Valley
The Reality
We know the difference between a bad outcome and negligence.
When a provider deviates from safety protocols, the consequences are often permanent.
Octavia LaVon Martinez brings a distinct perspective to this practice area. As a survivor of life-threatening medical negligence during childbirth, she understands the profound physical and emotional toll of a preventable error. This experience drives the firm’s commitment: when the facts show negligence, we litigate without fear.
Scope of Intervention (What We Do)
Wrongful Death
When a loved one is lost due to misdiagnosis, medication errors, or surgical recklessness, we pursue the maximum compensation available under the law to secure the future of the surviving family.
Birth Injury & Trauma
We represent mothers and infants who have suffered due to delayed C-sections, hypoxia (oxygen deprivation), improper use of forceps, or failure to monitor fetal distress.
Surgical Errors
We handle cases involving "never events"—foreign objects left in the body, wrong-site surgery, or accidental perforation of organs during routine procedures.

Our Strategy
We utilize a Pre-Litigation File Review process.
Unlike high-volume "settlement mills," we do not take every case.
Audit: Before a lawsuit is filed, we review medical records to determine if a viable claim exists.
Experts: We consult with independent medical specialists to confirm that the standard of care was breached.
Action: Once negligence is confirmed, we file suit with a strategy designed to survive dismissal and win at trial.
Note: Malpractice cases are complex and costly. This rigorous screening process protects clients from investing time and money into cases that cannot be won.
Corrective Counsel
Has your case stalled?
We frequently inherit cases from attorneys who are unable to handle the complexity.
If your current counsel is failing to communicate, missing deadlines, or allowing the opposition to seize the momentum, you need corrective counsel.
We conduct an audit of your case, identify where the strategy is failing, and move immediately to rectify the errors.
Do not let a passive attorney cost you your outcome.
