Are You a Victim of Medical Malpractice in California?

Many people are not certain what the term “medical malpractice” actually means. Essentially, this term means that a medical professional, whether in a hospital or clinic setting, was negligent in some way. Medical negligence may occur when a doctor misdiagnoses a patient, prescribes the wrong medication or dosage, or fails to provide care (an act of omission). A surgeon may make a mistake in the process of performing surgery. While doctors, surgeons, and other medical professionals are not legally responsible for all injuries or harm a person may suffer, they are required to provide patients treatment that meets an accepted standard of practice.

Hiring a Capable LA Medical Malpractice Attorney is Critical to Good Results

Some examples of medical negligence or malpractice include:

• Birth defects or injuries
• Anesthesia errors
• Failure to properly diagnose (heart disease, cancer, etc.)
• Surgical errors
• Delay in treatment
• Failure to provide proper treatment

As mentioned earlier, these types of cases can be particularly challenging. Laws regarding medical malpractice are complicated, and you can be sure that the defendant(s) (doctor, anesthesiologist, or medical facility) will have an aggressive lawyer on their side to fight your claim.

A misdiagnosis or error in a surgical procedure can lead to injuries that are more serious, or even permanently disabling. Even worse, many cases of medical negligence will end in death. While we trust educated and skilled doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers with our lives, mistakes are made in the patient care industry every day. These mistakes can be extremely costly to the patient or the family, and may include medical costs, funeral/burial costs, pain and suffering, lost income, future treatment costs, and more.
