How will a medical malpractice attorney help me?

When you hire a medical malpractice attorney, your attorney will evaluate your claim to make sure that the negligent party or parties are held accountable and to ensure that you get the compensation you need to recover and get back to your life. This includes costs for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and more. Damages may even include the cost of therapy and psychological counseling. In addition to this, working with experienced attorneys will connect you to medical professionals and consultants that will help strengthen your case.

What types of damages may be recovered in a medical malpractice lawsuit?

Possible compensation in a medical malpractice suit may be general damages, special damages, and punitive damages. 

  • General damages refer to compensation for mental pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and loss of enjoyment of life. Keep in mind that the state of California’s medical malpractice laws may limit compensation for general damages.
  • Special damages refer to past and future medical expenses as well as past missed work and loss of future earnings.
  • Punitive damages are awarded in cases in which the doctor was grossly negligent or intentionally harmed the patient.

What you are entitled to may not yet be clear to you, but an experienced medical malpractice attorney will analyze your case to determine the damages you are entitled to. 

How long do I have to sue following a medical malpractice incident?

For medical malpractice, California law states that a lawsuit must be filed either within one year of the patient discovering the damage or within three years of the date that the incident occurred, whichever comes first.

MEDICAL  MALPRACTICE- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

California Medical Malpractice Laws?

The laws surrounding medical negligence in California must be thoroughly understood to ensure the protection of those affected by such occurrences. The state has adopted a tort system for California medical malpractice laws, meaning that any injured party can sue the responsible physician and any other relevant parties. To be successful, the patient must demonstrate that medical workers breached their duty and that this violation directly resulted in injury or harm to them. In general, an expert witness will be called in to determine whether or not these conditions have been satisfied. Furthermore, while pursuing a medical malpractice claim in California, litigants must comply to a rigorous statute of limitations.

How Long Does a Medical Negligence Lawsuit Usually Take?

Litigation resulting from medical negligence lawsuits can usually be lengthy, potentially taking many months or even years. The exact timeline of a medical malpractice lawsuit depends on various factors, including the case’s complexity, the court’s caseload and schedule, and the state it is in. In California, for example, specific statutes of limitation must be met before filing a claim. Survivors have a maximum of three years from the date of harm to seek legal redress for their losses.
