What Are the Most Common Medical Malpractice Claims?
Call Medical Malpractice Lawyer right away to schedule a free consultation at (888) 854-9909. Some examples of medical malpractice claims that we deal with include cases of catastrophic injury such as wrongful death or brain injuries caused by the following:
- Negligence in providing care or attending to the patient sufficiently (this can include carelessness or mistakes during surgical procedures)
- Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
- Prescribes the wrong medication or wrong dosage
- Failure to warn the patient about the risks and possible complications of proposed treatment or lack of treatment
- Mismanagement of a medical condition, such as failing to recommend the most suitable treatments
- Failing to timely diagnose a patient’s stroke or heart attack
- Excessive bleeding during a procedure that results in decreased oxygenation
- Failing to properly intubate a patient during surgery
- Surgical errors such as injuring a nerve during surgery, making an incision at the wrong location, operating on the wrong body part or leaving surgical instruments inside a patient
How long does the average medical negligence claim take?
In California, the law states that most medical malpractice lawsuits must be filed within one year of the patient discovering the injury or within three years of the date that injury occurred—whichever comes first. This can vary however based on the type of medical provider.
A rough estimate for the average negligence claim in California to be resolved is 2 to 3 years. Cases can take longer or shorter depending on the nature of the claim and damages involved.
How do I prove medical malpractice in California?
You will need to provide as much tangible evidence as possible including hospital reports, witness statements, photographs, test results, interview outcomes and more. Our highly trained legal team will work with you to compile and organize all the required documents.
The four required legal elements of a medical malpractice claim are as follows:
- A valid doctor-patient relationship existed;
- A medical professional violated the standard of care;
- The violation of that standard resulted in harm to the patient; and.
- The patient suffered real, compensable damages.
What is the process for starting a claim?
Medical malpractice claims can be some of the most challenging to pursue and win. To be successful, you need the best medical malpractice lawyers in California on your side. Contact us today to start your claim.
California requires that any doctor or other health care provider you’re planning to file a lawsuit against must be notified of your intention to file the case 90 days before the lawsuit is filed.
No particular form or format must be used when providing this notice, but the defendant must be informed of:
- the legal basis of the claim
- the type of loss sustained, and
- the nature of the injuries suffered.
