When patients put their trust in doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other healthcare providers, they rightly expect competent, attentive care that meets accepted medical standards. However, medical mistakes happen more often than people may realize. These errors can leave patients permanently disabled, disfigured, or lead to wrongful death.

Some common examples of medical malpractice committed in hospitals and healthcare facilities include:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a serious illness or condition
• Surgical errors and mistakes during operations
• Improper administration or dosing of anesthesia
• Childbirth injuries to mother or baby due to negligence
• Preventable hospital-acquired infections
• Improper discharge of unstable patients

The aftermath of medical malpractice can be devastating. In addition to severe physical injuries from incorrect medical treatment, victims experience traumatic emotional effects and staggering medical costs plus lost income.

When substandard medical care causes significant harm in violation of California medical negligence laws, the patient has legal grounds to pursue a medical malpractice lawsuit against the responsible healthcare providers and facilities.

• Brain Damage - Errors like surgical mistakes, lack of oxygen, or improper medication can lead to lifelong brain damage impacting cognition, function, communication and necessitating around-the-clock care.
• Spinal Cord Injuries - Damaged nerves controlling sensation and mobility below the point of injury lead to paralysis effecting bladder control plus arm and leg movement.
• Cerebral Palsy - Lack of oxygen or trauma during labor and delivery can trigger a disorder permanently impairing muscle coordination and body movement.
• Amputation - Surgical mistakes might require amputating damaged limbs.
• Severed Nerve Damage - Surgical slip-ups can destroy nerves causing loss of feeling or mobility in hands, arms or legs.
• Surgical Mistakes - Wrong-site surgery, leaving foreign objects inside patients after operations, problems with anesthesia, and other errors during surgeries cause grave harm.
• Cancer Misdiagnosis - Failure to promptly and properly diagnose cancers or recommend appropriate treatments allows the disease to rapidly spread unchecked resulting in disability or wrongful death
• Orthopedic Injuries - Botched orthopedic surgeries such as knee/hip replacements and spinal fusions negatively impact mobility and functioning.
