Keep in mind that not all medical injuries constitute medical malpractice. Many medical procedures and medications carry a risk of injury or side effects that will not give rise to a claim of medical malpractice. Even with the best medical care, injuries can occur or treatment may not be effective.
Because determining whether a medical professional has been negligent can be very complex, you need the assistance of an experienced medical malpractice attorney to review your case and determine whether medical malpractice occurred.

Victims of medical malpractice have the right to pursue compensation from the negligent healthcare provider or medical facility whose actions resulted in damages. Every medical malpractice case is different. However, many victims often pursue compensation for the following types of damages:
And More.
Because no two cases are alike, it’s difficult to determine how much a medical malpractice case is worth without consulting an experienced Anaheim medical malpractice lawyer.
While malpractice can permanently change a person’s life, some people will not pursue compensation. Victims of medical malpractice may wait too long to file a lawsuit, which can result in their cases being dismissed. The statute of limitations for medical malpractice in California is one year from the date the patient discovered the injury or within three years of the date the injury occurred, or whichever comes first. Because of the limited amount of time you have to file a medical malpractice lawsuit, it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
Physicians and other medical professionals can make mistakes when treating patients. When an error rises to the level of medical malpractice, causing serious injuries, the victim has the right to pursue a malpractice claim to recover compensation. Sustaining injuries due to the negligence of a healthcare provider can leave an individual with serious disabilities, substantial losses, and a worsened condition. A victim may have to deal with lifelong physical and emotional trauma due to their injuries.
In California, the most common forms of medical malpractice include:
A misdiagnosis occurs when a physician fails to diagnose a condition and instead diagnoses a patient with the wrong condition.
With a delayed diagnosis, a physician states that a patient does not have a medical condition or incorrectly diagnoses a patient with a different condition. Over time, when a patient finally receives an accurate diagnosis, treatment may no longer be as effective or may not be effective at all due to a condition worsening.
A patient may be correctly diagnosed but does not receive the proper treatment needed, the doctor fails to follow through with treatment, or they fail to refer their patient to a specialist.
Surgical missteps can include leaving an instrument inside a patient, amputating the wrong limb, wrong site surgery, or causing nerve or organ damage.
Birth injuries may occur if medical staff fail to monitor the mother or infant, incorrectly use forceps or vacuum extraction devices, perform an unnecessary C-section, fail to perform a C-section, or it may involve anesthesia errors.
When a medical device is defective, a patient can suffer death or serious injuries, such as perforated organs or a condition that worsens when a defective medical device fails to provide the promised benefits.
