Hospital Negligence Causing Patient HarmHospital systems have complex structures and roles, however, each facility and their staff owe patients what is known as a “duty of care”. When hospitals breach these important duties through negligent actions (or lack of action), it can constitute malpractice under California medical liability laws.
Some examples of potential hospital negligence connected to patient harm include:
- Misdiagnosing medical conditions
- Medication errors and pharmacy mix-ups
- Preventable infections due to unclean facilities
- Equipment-related injuries and mistakes
- Improper discharge or release of patients
- Failure to properly monitor patients
- Unnecessary procedures or surgery
- Delayed test results or missed critical findings
- Delayed emergency response time
- Inadequate or negligent nursing care
The effects on patients can be clinically and financially disastrous – missed cancer diagnosis until late stage, wrong site/wrong patient surgeries, severe infections from unsterile surgical suites, undiagnosed heart conditions leading to long term damage, and countless other physically and emotionally painful scenarios.
Don’t let hospitals cover up their errors or fail to implement better patient safety – malpractice litigation makes problems at facilities known so they are forced into accountability. Our goal is first to help you recover and heal before punishing institutions through legal means.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does proving medical negligence involve?First, we engage independent specialists to review your full medical history and provide expert testimony regarding where standards of care were breached. Based on their findings, we then demonstrate how those breaches caused significant injury or harm to you as the patient.
Do I have a case if I signed consent forms at the hospital?Yes, absolutely. Signing a basic consent form does not forfeit your rights. Hospitals still owe you proper standards of care regardless. Exceptions would only apply if they explicitly warned you of exact risks/complications and you accepted them.
How much compensation is possible?Every case outcome is different based on severity, longevity of impacts, and availability of early settlements. However, our track record includes 8 and even 9 figure case results for clients in the past.
How long could a lawsuit take?Anywhere from several months to 2-3 years typically if settlements are not reached early. We prepare cases as aggressively as possible so wait times favor our clients.
What if missed diagnoses or errors happened years ago?California statutes of limitations still allow 2 years to file once evidence of negligence is discovered or should reasonably have been discovered. Give us a call and we explore options.
What are odds my case goes to trial?The comprehensive nature of our investigation paired with proven credibility usually leads to pre-trial resolutions. But our veteran lawyers are fully prepared for trial if fair settlements are not offered.
