About Medical Malpractice
Were you or a member of your family harmed as a direct result of medical malpractice? Unfortunately, medical professionals can act negligently and harm their patients. There are many different situations that classify as types of medical malpractice, including but not limited to the following:
- Birth injuries
- Delayed diagnosis
- Missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis
- Failure to treat
- Surgical mistakes
- Issues with the administration of anesthesia
- Issues with the administration of medication
If you or a member of your family were subject to medical malpractice and suffered any sort of harm, you might have grounds to sue; therefore, you should seek legal assistance at your earliest convenience.
Can You Sue?
Do you have the right to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered as a result of medical malpractice? To prove your right to sue, you must prove that the medical professional negligently harmed you or a member of your family. Medical professionals have a duty of care to their patients. However, this duty of care only exists if a doctor-patient relationship exists – that is, doctors agree to treat the patient, and the patient agrees to be treated by the doctor. If a doctor-patient relationship exists, then the medical professional has a duty to exercise the highest level of care and skill when treating the patient. If a medical professional is careless or reckless (i.e., fails to check charts, fails to administer the correct medication, fails to run the tests necessary for a diagnosis, etc.), he or she is breaching the duty of care owed to the patient. A breached duty of care can lead to incidents which can harm patients.
What if a breached duty of care results in harm to a patient? If the negligent actions of a medical professional directly contributed to the harm that you or a member of your family suffered, you could pursue a medical malpractice claim. If you are interested in learning more about your right to file a medical malpractice claim for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered at the hands of a medical professional, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the Spanish speaking experts at our firm immediately.
Your Right to Monetary Compensation
Could you be eligible to recover monetary compensation for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered at the hands of an alleged medical expert?

Although every claim is different, you could be eligible to recover compensation for some of the following:
- Medical costs
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium

- Punitive damages
- Legal fees
How much compensation could you receive? Based on the details surrounding your claim, you could be entitled to receive tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and even millions. If you are interested in learning more about the specific type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately. Our Los Angeles medical malpractice attorneys are ready to fight for your right to recover the highest amount of compensation available for your claim.
What Should You Do?
After suffering harm due to medical malpractice, victims and their families should do a number of things to prepare to sue. You should consider some of the following recommendations:
- Seek medical care immediately to address the extent of the harm resulting from the malpractice
- Take photos of the harm that you suffered (if the harm is visible)
- File an incident report against the doctor, nurse, or medical team with the hospital
- File an incident report with the medical board
- Collect the names of all parties involved
- Speak to any witnesses and collect their contact information

The Statute of Limitations
All claims, including medical malpractice claims, are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the total time that claimants have to sue. If claimants fail to file their claims on time, they could lose their right to sue. How long do you have to file your Los Angeles medical malpractice claim? In California, medical malpractice claims typically must be filed within one year of discovery of the injury or within three years of the date of injury. If you are interested in learning more about the total length of time that you have to pursue your claim, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our experts immediately.
