Common Examples of Medical Negligence at Walnut Park Hospitals/Facilities

Hospital stays for illness/injuries aim to improve health; yet the opposite occurs for some patients. When substandard medical care causes further harm, patients have legal grounds to pursue hospital negligence claims. Some common medical errors include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a serious medical condition
  • Surgical mistakes - punctures, perforations or lacerations
  • Birth injuries to baby during labor/delivery
  • Improper medication dosing
  • Poor after-discharge care
  • Preventable infections
  • Long term impairment or death

These types of medical mistakes often lead to catastrophic, life-altering harm a patient otherwise avoided. We investigate case specifics to prove the medical provider violated California medical negligence laws.

Examples of Catastrophic Injuries from LA County Hospital Negligence

Minor errors typically only require additional monitoring without extended hospitalization or lingering effects. Negligence is evident when a patient endures major, life-changing harm that adequate care could have prevented. Some catastrophic injuries we see after medical malpractice include:

  • Spinal cord injuries causing paralysis
  • Severe brain damage
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Loss of limb/amputation
  • Permanent disability
  • Wrongful death

These severely disabling or fatal injuries drastically diminish quality of life for the victim and surrounding family members. Though no financial award removes the damage inflicted, compensation can relieve associated financial stresses of major medical procedures, rehabilitation, home healthcare, special equipment, loss of income and more required after malpractice.

How We Investigate Medical Malpractice Cases

Successfully prosecuting medical malpractice cases requires in-depth investigation into what exactly transpired and the roles of all involved healthcare providers. Here is an overview of our step-by-step investigative process when examining the merits of potential hospital or doctor negligence cases.

Comprehensive Record Retrieval

The very first step our team takes is acquiring every single medical record pertaining to the patient’s condition and treatment. This includes diagnostic test results, doctor consultation notes, hospitalization records, surgical reports, admission/discharge summaries and any other documentation. We leave no stone unturned, even obtaining pharmacy profiles listing all medications prescribed.

Thorough Medical Chronology Compilation

Once records are obtained, our nursing staff compiles them into an extensive chronology outlining the patient’s health history, reason for seeking treatment, diagnoses, physicians’ orders, medications administered, surgery details and so on in precise sequential order. This facilitates easier identification of medical errors.

Assembling a Specialist Medical Review Panel

We assemble independent teams of board-certified medical experts from the appropriate specialties to scrutinize the chronology records using their specialized expertise. For example, obstetric negligence cases utilize OB/GYNs, nurses and pediatricians to identify substandard pregnancy/delivery care.

Proving Causation Between Negligence & Injuries

The expert reviewers assess if and how healthcare standards were breached and pinpoint how these errors resulted in additional patient harm that proper treatment could have prevented. By establishing causation between subpar care and injuries incurred, we substantiate viable malpractice claims.

Quantifying All Damages

In addition to proving malpractice transpired, our financial analysts also quantify all categories of current and future monetary damages the negligent medical care directly cost the victim. This includes extended healthcare costs, lost wages from inability to work, reduced earning capacity, costs of at-home nursing assistance and more.

Armed with meticulous proof of poorly judged or omitted treatment leading to avoidable patient harm, we pursue maximum medical malpractice compensation for profoundly debilitating injuries and life-altering repercussions victims now face through no fault of their own.
