Hospital negligence occurs when the standards of care are breached, resulting in patient harm. As intricate as medicine can be, mistakes still happen. However, some errors may constitute malpractice under California state laws.

You may have valid grounds to pursue compensation if:

• The medical provider failed to meet the accepted standard of care

Patients who have suffered harm because of substandard medical treatment may be able to recover several types of damages through a medical malpractice lawsuit. Understanding the potential compensation available can help patients and families pursue necessary accountability after devastating, and preventable, injuries.

These damages compensate injured victims and grieving families for measurable financial costs stemming from incidents of medical negligence.

Patients can recover both past and future costs of all treatments, hospitalizations, procedures, medications, assistive devices and in-home care stemming from the malpractice. This also often encompasses family counseling needed to cope with resulting tragedies.

Wages lost because injuries prevent plaintiffs from working can amount to substantial sums over time. Calculating reductions to lifetime earning capacity also comes into play for serious, disability-causing incidents.

In some cases, injuries deprive spouses of companionship and affection. Plaintiffs can seek restitution for these intangible relationship damages in addition to economic costs.

Money cannot undo agony and grief inflicted by negligent healthcare providers. Still, the law provides payment of non-economic damages with acknowledgement no amount fully compensates preventable suffering.

Those physically and emotionally traumatized by incompetent medical care can seek damages for pain and mental anguish. Particularly catastrophic injuries usually correlate to higher awards.

Permanent disability robs victims of participating in once treasured activities and enjoying life’s milestones to the fullest. Judges and juries may award additional payouts for such irreparable losses.

Pursuing just compensation for all aspects of harm following medical errors can relieve burdens moving forward. Our lawyers thoroughly evaluate and quantify both economic and human damages to fight for maximum recovery through settlements or jury awards.

Most cases that get dismissed feature poor evidence of negligence and causation of injury. We perform exhaustive analysis into standards of care to prove definitively that subpar medical care caused your suffering. This takes extensive medical research and consulting specialists.

In most cases you have 1 year from the date of discovery to file a claim, but exceptions exist in cases involving minors, delayed discovery of negligence, intentional concealment and other factors.

You may receive compensation for medical costs, lost income, loss of future earnings, pain and suffering, and other damages. If negligence resulted in death, the patient’s family members may have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit under CA law.

Compensation typically gets paid by the liable provider’s malpractice insurer or hospital trust funds set aside for resolving negligence claims. Money does not come out of the provider’s personal assets.

Under state law, providers cannot retaliate against patients pursuing legal accountability. We also approach facilities respectfully through proper legal channels. Your care comes first.
