What Counts as Medical Malpractice in California?

Not every poor outcome is considered malpractice under California law. To bring a successful claim, you must show that:

• A doctor or healthcare provider had a duty to treat you
• They failed to meet the accepted medical standard of care
• That failure caused you injury
• You suffered measurable damages as a result

This standard applies to many types of medical professionals, including surgeons, emergency room staff, nurses, specialists, pharmacists, and hospital systems. Our attorneys can help you understand whether your experience rises to the level of medical negligence and, if so, how to begin a claim.

Common Forms of Medical Malpractice We Handle

Medical malpractice can happen in many different settings. It may occur during a routine visit, in an operating room, or while receiving medication in a hospital. Some of the most common cases we handle involve:

• Surgical errors, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the body, or failing to follow post-operative protocols
• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, especially in cases involving cancer, stroke, or heart attack
• Birth injuries, including lack of oxygen to the baby, improper use of forceps, or failure to perform a timely C-section
• Medication mistakes, including wrong dosage, incorrect medication, or allergic reactions due to poor charting
• Failure to monitor, especially in emergency rooms, ICUs, and after surgery
• Anesthesia errors, which may lead to cardiac arrest, brain injury, or death

These cases often involve high stakes. We represent patients who have suffered permanent harm and families who have lost loved ones due to fatal medical errors negligence.

What Makes These Cases Different from Other Injury Claims

Medical malpractice claims in California are subject to strict rules that do not apply to other types of personal injury cases. These include:

• Expert testimony: You must have a qualified medical expert support your claim and explain how the provider fell below the standard of care
• MICRA limitations: California’s Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act limits the amount of non-economic damages you can recover for pain and suffering in some cases
• Shorter timelines: Most malpractice claims must be filed within one year from the date you knew or should have known about the injury

Because of these rules, it is especially important to speak with a lawyer as soon as you suspect something went wrong. We will evaluate your case, consult trusted medical experts, and take the steps needed to preserve your right to compensation.
