Garcia Law Secures Victory for Orthopedic Surgeon in Galveston

Garcia Law is proud to announce the successful dismissal of a medical malpractice lawsuit filed against an orthopedic surgeon in the Galveston, Texas area. The case centered around a left total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and allegations that complications following the procedure were the result of surgical negligence.

Medical malpractice cases involving orthopedic procedures—especially joint replacements—are often highly complex and record-intensive. They require not only a deep understanding of the legal framework but also a firm grasp of the medical science behind the procedures in question. In this case, the plaintiff alleged that post-operative complications were due to errors during the initial knee replacement surgery.

Attorney Stacy Garcia led the defense, working closely with the defense team and medical experts to thoroughly analyze:

• The surgical technique used during the total knee replacement,

• The patient’s post-operative rehabilitation and compliance,

• The nature and necessity of any revision surgeries, and

• The standard of care applicable to orthopedic procedures.

By meticulously reviewing surgical records, imaging, and expert opinions, Ms. Garcia was able to demonstrate that the care provided met the appropriate medical standards. Her ability to translate complex medical data into a compelling legal argument was instrumental in obtaining a dismissal of the case in its entirety.

This outcome highlights the importance of having legal counsel who not only understands the law but also the medicine behind the litigation. At Garcia Law, we pride ourselves on our ability to bridge that gap—partnering with experts, diving deep into medical records, and building strong, evidence-based defenses for healthcare providers.
