California Hospital Negligence Law Firm
The best doctors in the world are still capable of making mistakes that result in serious patient harm, and sadly, this is more common than most people realize. When medical errors cause lasting, if not permanent, damage, victims are often left to struggle financially and emotionally after an accident that was entirely preventable. The attorneys at our firm are passionate about helping injured patients secure the compensation they deserve.
If you or a loved one suffered an injury because of a hospital’s negligence, our experienced legal team can help you hold the appropriate parties accountable and pursue maximum compensation for your losses. Since these cases are complex, it is essential to work with an attorney who has experience building strong malpractice claims. Our San Diego-based team includes not only a team of seasoned injury lawyers, but also medical professionals who can help build a compelling case for you.
Our attorneys are highly skilled in determining whether a doctor or hospital’s actions are actionable and if you have a valid claim for damages. In order to prove a claim for malpractice, you must show that the medical professional breached their duty of care to you. This can include a negligent act or an omission to act that led to the injury you suffered. We must also demonstrate that the breach directly caused your injury and that you would not have suffered if the medical professional had not been negligent.
Because California Hospital Negligence Law Firm cases are based on a medical standard of care, the burden of proof is extremely high. However, in some circumstances, we can use circumstantial evidence to establish negligence. This is known as the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur, and it allows us to conclude that the doctor’s actions were negligent even if the direct cause of the resulting injury cannot be conclusively determined.
As such, it is important that you hire a competent lawyer right away to investigate your claim and identify areas of potential medical malpractice. A thorough investigation will allow us to calculate the full scope of your injuries and determine all types of damages you may be entitled to receive, including your medical costs, future healthcare costs, pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, physical injury, and more.
In some cases, our attorneys have successfully obtained multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts. This includes the largest settlement in the history of California for a death from sepsis, and another record-setting recovery for a knee surgery error that resulted in severe complications and multiple limb losses.
