What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice, or medical negligence, occurs when a healthcare professional fails in the follow required standards of care and injures a patient as a result. In legal terms, it means that there was a duty of care owed to a patient, and the health professional violated this duty, which caused the patient’s injuries and damages.
Pursuing a medical malpractice claim can be costly and difficult. To make matters worse, doctors will often insist the situation was just one of those unavoidable complications. In all medical malpractice cases, the injured individual must be able to prove how the health provider caused their injury. This requires hiring medical experts who can help prove up a case. Our firm fronts all case expenses, including the costs of experts. We only ask to be reimbursed if we win the case.
If you are a victim of medical malpractice, it is extremely important that you speak to a Board Certified Trial Lawyer with experience in field of medical malpractice. Proving up your case and showing what actually went on behind closed hospital doors is a daunting challenge and should only be undertaken by a medical malpractice lawyer with experience in the field of medical negligence. With over 30 years of experience in medical malpractice, Tom Kemmy can provide you with the expertise and representation that you need.

Failure to Diagnose
Failure to diagnose is when your doctor failed to connect the dots between your symptoms and underlying condition. Misdiagnosis may also be a failure to diagnose, but it normally refers to when your doctor incorrectly believes you have an underlying condition when you actually suffer from another; and the doctor should have known the correct diagnosis to make. Delayed diagnosis is when your doctor isn’t fast enough in making the connection between your symptoms and the underlying condition.
How Our Approach to Trial Advocacy Serves Our Clients
Trial is often daunting for the injured plaintiff. In the past three decades, insurance companies and big corporate interests have spent billions on a remarkable propaganda campaign against injured people and the lawyers that represent them. This campaign has been so effective that across the country jurors view personal injury cases, and the lawyers who bring them, with suspicion or even hostility.
However, at the Kemmy Law Firm, our decades of trial experience have proven that when we show juries that a violation of basic community safety rules has caused unnecessary harm to a person in their community, the jury will often respond with a just and fair verdict. That is why, even though most cases settle, we develop each case as if it will go to trial.
We work to uncover the full story: what safety rules were broken? By whom? And how was the client harmed as a result?
Our Experience & Record
Our team has decades of trial experience. For over 30 years, Tom Kemmy has successfully represented injured individuals and families who have lost life and limb, as well as small business owners cheated out of money. He is a board-certified trial lawyer. Nicholas Kemmy and Jacob Kemmy are former prosecutors for Bexar County and have tried dozens of cases to juries. Ben Kemmy has first-chaired civil jury trials across Texas: from Houston to San Antonio, from Dallas to Brownsville. Danny Kemmy has done trial work from the time he became licensed, including giving the opening statement and participating in a two-week trial that resulted in a 14-million-dollar verdict.
We believe our successes over the years are the result of our collective experience – and our team approach that prepares each case for trial even if it is likely to settle.

Everyone we worked with was amazing. They were so patient and explained everything in detail. They worked with my mom and then when she passed away the game plan changed and they made sure to explain everything. We were blessed to have them on our team. I would highly recommend them.

"Nick was very open and transparent."
Mr. Kemmy comes from good stock and was referred to us by one of the best. And if he's good enough for him to lay his reputation on the line, he's good enough for me. Nick was very open and transparent, and shared some of our frustrations. We were very please with him representing us. Thanks again Nick.
