Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
You may have a case if a healthcare provider's negligence directly caused your injury or worsened your condition. Key factors include deviation from standard care, causation, and damages. Our attorneys offer free consultations to evaluate your situation.
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in California?
In California, you generally have three years from the date of injury or one year from discovering the injury, whichever comes first. However, exceptions exist, particularly for minors or cases involving foreign objects left in the body. Contact us immediately to protect your rights.
How do you prove medical malpractice?
Proving medical malpractice requires establishing four elements: duty of care, breach of that duty, causation, and damages. We work with qualified medical experts who review records, provide testimony, and help demonstrate how the provider's actions fell below accepted standards.
What role do medical experts play in my case?
Medical experts are crucial in malpractice cases. They review medical records, establish the standard of care, explain how it was breached, and testify about causation. Our firm has relationships with respected medical professionals across various specialties.
Can I sue multiple parties for medical malpractice?
Yes, multiple parties may be liable including doctors, nurses, hospitals, medical device manufacturers, or pharmaceutical companies. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate to identify all responsible parties and maximize your potential recovery.
What if the medical malpractice resulted in death?
If medical negligence caused a loved one's death, you may have a wrongful death claim. Surviving family members can seek compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and loss of companionship. We handle these sensitive cases with compassion and dedication.
