Physicians offer life and hope to millions of Americans each year. Unfortunately, many patients suffer injury or death due to medical mistakes, ignorance, negligence and inexperience. It has been reported that an estimated 98,000 patients die each year as a result of medical error in hospitals alone and this estimate does not include mistakes made in other healthcare settings such as physicians' offices, emergency care centers nursing homes and other healthcare environments. Our nation spends an estimated $17 billion per year on costs associated with preventable medical errors.

A physician is determined to be negligent when they fail to use the same degree of skill and learning, under the same or similar circumstances, that are used by other members of their profession. Leading types of malpractice suits include:

• Wrongful death
• Hospital, physician and nursing negligence
• Birth defects or injuries
• Misdiagnosis
• Pharmaceutical errors
• Nursing home and elder abuse injuries

Proof of negligence is required to win damages in medical malpractice cases. Damages may be economic (lost wages, medical expenses), non-economic (pain and suffering) or punitive (punishment for reckless or malicious behavior). Damages may also include compensation for future monies such as medical care and loss of earnings.

A qualified attorney can help you win your medical malpractice claim by expertly evaluating your case, gathering the proper documentation, identifying witnesses, and utilizing the resources necessary to prepare a case that proves negligence within the guidelines of California law.
