Watch to learn more about the difference with Hampton & King.

Medical malpractice cases are unique. The law has nuances that apply only to medical malpractice cases. Same for the rules of evidence.

The fact issues are different from other lawsuits. Jurors’ attitudes are different. Even the insurance companies think differently.

Our birth injury attorneys in Houston have lived in that different world for decades. We have the experience and the track record that you should look for when choosing someone to represent you and your family in such a crucial matter.

At Hampton & King, we work diligently to hold negligent medical providers accountable for the harm they cause. We understand the laws and procedures that govern medical malpractice lawsuits in Houston and will fight to secure the justice and compensation your family deserves.

Why Hire Hampton & King?

Chris and Hartley have spent a combined 70 years representing families in medical negligence cases. They have been honored year after year by Super Lawyers and have been recognized by U.S. News and World Reports Best Lawyers as a Tier 1 Medical Malpractice firm. Hartley Hampton has been chosen Texas Medical Malpractice Plaintiff’s Lawyer of the Year twice, most recently in 2024. See the Our Attorneys section for more information.

We know that you have choices. There are many law firms advertising for cases in the Greater Houston, Texas and Santa Fe, New Mexico areas. We encourage you to make a careful comparison of their experience, results and resources.

When we take a case, we make a commitment to provide state-of-the-art representation. We invest our time—often two or three years or more—and our money–often more than $100,000. We are only paid if the case is successful. For that reason, we are very selective about the catastrophic injury lawsuits in Houston we accept and we keep our caseloads small.

Medical Malpractice Is All We Do

We know that you have many options when it comes to selecting a medical malpractice attorney in the greater Houston area. We encourage you to painstakingly review the qualifications of any lawyer or firm you are considering retaining to represent you. What other areas of law do they ‘specialize’ in? How familiar are they with the unusual demands and complexities of medical malpractice and negligence law?

At Hampton & King, medical malpractice and negligence are all we do. While many law firms cast a broad professional net in their practice, we focus on one area of law, because we know our clients need advocates who truly understand the unique challenges facing them. That is why we only accept medical negligence and malpractice cases. Our familiarity and extensive experience within this specific area of law sets us apart as a singular source of resolution confidence for our plaintiffs.

The Hampton & King Philosophy
Our law firm is selective. We don’t take on a large caseload, and we are particular about the cases we take on. This is so that the clients we do take on get our full attention and focus.

Voted “Best Law Firm” for medical malpractice by U.S. News

A medical mistake can change your life forever, particularly when committed by the medical professional you trusted with your health. Hampton & King has been fighting for the rights of medical malpractice victims for more than 60 years. Our efforts have been recognized by US News, who named us one of the “Best Law Firms” for victims of medical malpractice.

What really matters

When choosing a law firm to represent you in a medical malpractice, it’s important to do your homework. Not every law firm that advertises on the internet has the experience and resources necessary to take on a complicated medical malpractice case.

Resources Matter

Medical malpractice cases are expensive if done right. Retaining expert testimony from medical professionals alone can cost thousands of dollars. Because we don’t charge our clients a fee unless we win, we have the financial resources you need to retain these experts up front.

Focus Matters

Our law firm has been described as selective, but for good reason. We don’t take on a large caseload, and we are particular about the cases we take on. This is so that the clients we do take on get our full attention and focus.

Experience Matters

Medical malpractice is about as complex as you can get when it comes to tort law. You need an attorney in your corner who dedicates 100% of their practice to medical malpractice representation for plaintiffs.

Our Promise to Our Clients:

  • We will regard the attorney-client relationship as a sacred trust
  • We will be committed to providing ethical, state-of-the-art representation
  • We will dedicate the resources required to win
  • We will only be paid if we succeed

The legal team at Hampton & King has the experience.

We have the results. We have the resources. And, most importantly, we have the drive. Our firm cares about the people involved in the cases we accept, and we always go the extra mile to secure a just outcome. We are the team that ensures compensation.
