The major hospitals serving Rancho Mirage and surrounding communities include:

Eisenhower Medical Center is a not-for-profit hospital based in Rancho Mirage that provides care across almost every medical specialty. It houses the renowned Betty Ford Center for drug and alcohol rehabilitation and also includes an adjacent children’s hospital.

JFK Memorial is a 128-bed acute care facility equipped with an emergency department, surgical suites, diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation department, and birth center.

Desert Regional Medical Center is the largest hospital in the Coachella Valley and contains a Level II trauma center that sees more than 18,000 annual emergency admissions.

The hospitals provide quality care that saves lives every day, but even the most prestigious healthcare facilities can experience medical errors resulting in devastating patient injuries or death. As medical malpractice lawyers handling cases nationwide for over 40 years, we have seen major hospital systems make inexcusable mistakes including:

• Improper administration, dosing, or prescription of medication
• Misinterpretation of imaging tests, pathology results, and diagnostic data
• Operating on or altering the wrong anatomy
• Failure to rapidly diagnose and treat conditions such as strokes, heart attacks, infections, and bleeding
• Not monitoring patients appropriately post-operatively
• Discharging patients prematurely
• Birth injuries due to OBGYN or nursing negligence

These errors may happen for many reasons - overworked staff, outdated technology, poor internal communication - but whatever the cause, we fight to hold all negligent parties fully accountable.

Specific communities near Rancho Mirage that fall within our scope of service include:

The first actions to take after experiencing medical malpractice involving catastrophic injuries include:

Concentrate all your efforts initially on following doctor recommendations, attending rehab, setting vital care plans to transition home, and taking every step advised for your stabilization and adaptation to disabilities.

Order written copies of all medical charts, surgical reports, laboratory data, imaging film and notes, nursing logs, therapy plans - every piece of paper documenting your care. Thorough records are key for us identifying negligence.

Our team can best advise your legal options after reviewing all records. We handle inquiries with discretion, identifying viable cases of verifiable negligence. There is never a fee just to discuss your situation and rights.

While we aim to compassionately counsel every caller injured by medical errors, we cannot accept all cases due to the extensive resources and specialized staff needed to pursue maximum compensation in the most grievous situations. But regardless if we ultimately represent you in court or not, we will helpfully point people toward other specialized firms, foundations, or support groups that can assist after these traumatic events. Please reach out to see how we can help.

You may still have a medical malpractice case even if you eventually recover. However, our firm focuses specifically on situations where errors lead to permanent, life-changing injuries requiring intensive medical care. For less severe cases, we can refer you to trusted associates.

By thoroughly investigating your records, we identify deviations from standards of care and assemble medical experts to analyze if such deviations directly caused preventable harm. Their objective findings separate accidents from negligence.

In California, you normally have 1 year from the date of discovery to file a claim - less for public entities. However, state laws contain exceptions extending limits when evidence was fraudulently concealed. We advise on latest filing times.

Yes, compensation can include emotional distress stemming directly from physical harm due to medical negligence. Our lawyers are skilled at presenting evidence meeting legal thresholds for claiming such non-economic damages.

Not typically, as long as initial recovery remains the priority and experiences with subsequent providers are objective versus subjective assessments. Our discreet approach prevents any retaliation or bias.

Please feel free to reach out with any other questions. As dedicated medical malpractice lawyers, we are happy to discuss the legal process related to medical negligence in a free, no-obligation consultation - we want people to understand all their options after such tragic, preventable harm occurs.
