Medical malpractice generally involves professional negligence by a healthcare provider that causes injury or harm to a patient.
A bad medical outcome by itself does not necessarily establish malpractice. Medical treatment can involve known risks, complications, and outcomes that happen even when appropriate care is provided.
A medical malpractice claim generally requires looking at whether the healthcare provider acted negligently and whether that negligence caused the injury.
California law defines professional negligence as a negligent act or failure to act by a healthcare provider while providing professional services, when that conduct is the proximate cause of personal injury or wrongful death.
That makes the facts surrounding your treatment extremely important.
The most important part of any medical malpractice case is often the injury itself.
A medical error can sometimes make an existing condition worse or create an entirely new medical problem.
Depending on what happened, a patient may suffer:
Some injuries may require additional surgery, rehabilitation, medication, or long-term medical care.
If your medical treatment caused a serious physical injury, it is important to understand both your medical condition and the legal options that may be available.
A serious medical injury can affect almost every part of your life.
You may need additional treatment because of the original medical problem, or you may have to take time away from work. You may have new medical bills, and you may need help with everyday activities that you could handle before the injury.
A personal injury claim may seek compensation for losses that are supported by the facts and California law.
Depending on the circumstances, damages may include:
California law specifically recognizes noneconomic losses such as pain, suffering, inconvenience, physical impairment, and disfigurement in professional-negligence actions against healthcare providers, subject to statutory limitations.
Every case is different, so you should not assume that another person’s settlement or verdict tells you what your case is worth.
When you contact Tenina Law, we can start by listening to your story.
We want to understand:
From there, we can discuss the legal options that may be available based on your circumstances.
