Our Los Angeles Medical Malpractice Attorneys Know How to Build a Robust Case
Providing medical care of any type requires following certain procedures and protocols. This is known as the standard of care. In general, a care provider should offer a similar standard of care as others:
- Who have the same or similar training or experience
- Who encounter the same or similar circumstances
- Who work in the same geographical area
This is what makes medical expert opinions imperative in understanding if the mistakes made and injuries suffered rose to the level of malpractice.
Medical malpractice can occur in many ways. They all involve negligence or failure to provide an appropriate standard of care. Some examples include:
- Diagnostic errors, including misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors or anesthesia errors
- Errores de medicación
- Lesiones de nacimiento
- Treatment errors, such as failure to treat or inadequate treatment
- Lack of Informed Consent
- Hospital negligence
- Negligencia dental
California, like other states, has requirements related to:
- Medical expert reviews of each case
- Specific procedures for notifying the doctor or facility of an intention to sue
- Other laws that make navigating a medical malpractice case more complex
When you hire our Los Angeles medical errors team to navigate this process for you, we strive to be the best resource available to answer your questions, prove your case, connect you with the necessary experts, and fight for the money you deserve. We can help you show that the medical care provider or facility acted negligently and hold them accountable for your injuries, expenses, and losses.
Our Los Angeles Medical Malpractice Attorneys Will Fight for Fair Compensation
Many medical malpractice victims come to our team and ask: “How much can you sue for malpractice in California?” The truth is that it depends greatly on the circumstances of your case. For example, someone living with disabilities caused by lesiones catastróficas will likely receive a much larger payout than someone who recovered fully.
Our Los Angeles medical malpractice lawyer must identify your recoverable damages and document your injuries. We will work with experts to understand and prove that medical malpractice occurred and also to understand your prognosis and future care needs. This will allow us to seek compensation based on your:
- Medical care needs to date
- Future care and support needs if you have lasting injuries
- Income lost, including wages, tips, commissions, and contract work
- Diminished earning capacity for lasting disabilities
- Out-of-pocket expenses related to your injuries or care
- Intangible losses, such as pain, suffering, inconvenience, disabilities, and disfigurement
Does California Cap Medical Malpractice Damages?
California caps medical malpractice damages under California Code, Civil Code – CIV § 3333.2. However, this limit applies only to the intangible losses you suffered. You can recover money for your documented medical care costs, lost wages, and other expenses without any limits.
The cap on non-economic malpractice damages used to be lower. In 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom modernized these laws by signing AB 35. This legislation increased the cap to $350,000 for non-death claims and $500,000 for wrongful death claims.
However, this law includes annual increases in these caps and other nuances that could allow you to recover additional compensation if you qualify based on the circumstances of your case. Our attorneys can explain if these limits could affect the outcome of your case and answer other questions you might have about them.
How Do I Prove Medical Malpractice in California?
When you hire our law firm to represent you, you do not have to wonder how to prove medical malpractice. We manage this process for you and develop a strong case to compel the liable parties and their malpractice insurance providers to offer a fair settlement based on your injuries and damages. If this does not occur, we will litigate and ask a jury to award maximum compensation at trial.
Medical malpractice cases require strong evidence to show:
- The provider acted negligently, failing to provide an appropriate standard of care.
- This failure caused your injuries.
- You suffered physical, psychological, and financial harm.
We investigate these cases regularly. We know the types of evidence often available and how to use it to support your claim or lawsuit. Some of the steps we will take to prove your case include:
- Obtaining and analyzing your relevant medical records, notes, and other documentation
- Having medical experts review your case
- Calling on medical experts to help us understand your prognosis and future care needs
- Taking your official statement, known as a deposition, about what happened
- Identifying additional witnesses when possible
- Looking for similar incidents from the same care provider or facility
- Documenting your recoverable damages
Once we have convincing evidence to show malpractice occurred, we can often negotiate or litigate the case and recover compensation for our clients.
When Should I Call a Los Angeles Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
The medical malpractice statute of limitations in California is set by CCP § 340.5. Generally, you have up to three years to begin a lawsuit against the medical care provider or facility whose negligence caused your injuries.
However, this is one of the last steps in the state’s medical negligence process. We must take care of many other parts of the process before we file an official complaint. Many cases settle before we ever make it that far.
We encourage you to contact us if you have concerns about medical malpractice, wonder if you have a case, or believe a medical error caused your injuries. The sooner we review your case, the sooner we can begin the process.
