Injured by Medical Negligence in McAllen? We Help Patients Across the RGV Seek Justice
When we visit a doctor, hospital, or clinic, we expect to be helped — not harmed. But when medical professionals make preventable mistakes, the consequences can be devastating. At HKC Law Firm, PLLC, we represent individuals and families across McAllen and the Rio Grande Valley who have been hurt due to medical malpractice. If something went wrong with your care and you suspect negligence, we’ll help you get answers and fight for accountability.
Not All Medical Errors Are Malpractice — But Too Many Are
Medical malpractice claims are complex and highly technical. You need a law firm that knows how to investigate thoroughly, consult with experts, and clearly connect the dots between the provider’s actions and the harm you suffered.
At HKC Law, we take the time to review your records, listen to your experience, and determine if your case meets the legal threshold for malpractice. If it does — we go all in.
Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle
We represent patients harmed by:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors or wrong-site surgery
- Birth injuries
- Anesthesia mistakes
- Emergency room negligence
- Medication errors
- Infections due to unsanitary conditions
- Failure to monitor or follow up
These cases often involve hospitals, doctors, nurses, urgent care clinics, pharmacists, or specialists.
What You Can Recover in a Medical Negligence Case
If a provider’s mistake caused harm, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages or earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Emotional distress
- Funeral costs (in fatal cases)
Texas places some limits (called “caps”) on certain damages in medical malpractice cases — but you still have important rights, and we’ll work to maximize what you’re owed.

Emilio M.
Attorney Hitesh Chugani (and company), made my case feel like a soft breeze. They completely handled the workload in a very professional manner and granted me a very favorable outcome. Hitesh Chugani has now become my attorney of choice, and I will be recommending him to friends and family from here on out.

Outstanding! Not only he's efficient but also made sure to hire the right people for his team. They finished my case in a prompt manner. I would strongly recommend Attorney Chugani to anyone involved in a car accident. Thank you HKC Law Firm!

Mr Chugani is a very professional, trustworthy, caring and humble person. He is excellent at his job. Miss Mendoza, who was assigned to take my case, is a very nice, kind, professional and knowledgeable person. Not only did she find me a good physical therapist but she always followed up and help me through this process. I received the best medical treatment after my accident.
Miss Mendoza, Thank you for all your help. I highly recommend Mr. Chugani Law Firm.

From the moment I walked in and met Attorney Chugani and his staff I knew I was at the right place. He is very knowledgeable of the laws both civil and criminal and he is very humble and kind. I felt confident he was representing me and I was kept up to speed with any updates as they came along. I always felt my case was priority!!! Paralegal Susan is amazing (attentive and professional!). Definitely recommending!!
Manny Leal
This is an OUTSTANDING individual. He'll move mountains for you. Very professional, humble, kind and determined. He's gone out of his way, even on his own vacation, just to help me with big favors, that other lawyers probably wouldn't do.
There will never be any hesitation or doubt when it comes to a game plan with Mr.Hitesh, he is an overachiever. Overall the best lawyer in the RGV.
