In a recent court filing, Joe Adams Jr. has brought a lawsuit against Dr. Douglas E. Thompson and several medical entities including Collom & Carney Clinic Association, Steward Health Care System LLC, and Wadley Regional Medical Center. The case, filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, Texarkana Division, revolves around allegations of medical negligence during a hip replacement surgery performed by Dr. Thompson in June 2024. Adams claims that Dr. Thompson negligently removed parts of his femur, leading to permanent disability. The lawsuit also includes counts of vicarious liability against Collom & Carney Clinic Association and negligent supervision against all defendants due to Dr. Thompson’s previous disciplinary history with the Texas Medical Board. Adams seeks compensation for his injuries, pain and suffering, loss of income, and punitive damages.
