What is Medical Malpractice?

When you file a medical malpractice lawsuit, you must show that the provider was medically negligent in their treatment plan, resulting in a decline in your health. You must also show that another provider in the same situation would not have acted in the same manner and would have provided more reasonable care.

The failure to properly diagnose a patient is a common form of medical malpractice.
Doctors are not the only medical professionals who can be held liable for malpractice.

Other professionals can mishandle your care, including:

Medical facilities
Anesthesiologists
Nurses
Pharmacists
Dentists
Physical therapists
Occupational therapists

And other medical professionals.

Types Of Medical Malpractice

An incompetent or negligent healthcare provider could derail a patient’s recovery or treatment in several ways. Any omission or action that an ordinary medical professional wouldn’t have committed in the same situation, resulting in the death or injury of a patient would constitute medical malpractice.

Medical malpractice can take many forms, including:

Delayed Diagnosis or Misdiagnosis

When a healthcare provider delays a diagnosis or fails to correctly diagnose a medical condition, it can result in delayed treatment and the worsening of a condition.

Surgical Errors

A surgical error made during a procedure, such as leaving a surgical instrument inside a patient, operating on the wrong body part, or performing an unnecessary procedure constitutes medical malpractice.

Medication Errors

A medication error can involve administering drugs that negatively interact with each other, prescribing the wrong dosage, or prescribing the wrong medication.

Birth Injuries

Medical malpractice during the birth of a child can result in injuries to the infant or complications for the mother. Examples include excessive force used with forceps, failure to monitor the mother or infant, or nerve damage.

Anesthesia Errors

A mistake when administering anesthesia can result in complications such as death, respiratory issues, or an allergic reaction.

Inadequate Informed Consent

A patient has the right to be informed regarding the benefits and risks of treatment or a medical procedure. The failure to obtain informed consent can result in a medical malpractice claim.

How Can a California Medical Malpractice Attorney Help?

Pursuing a medical malpractice claim can be complex. Because dissatisfaction with the outcome of medical treatment doesn’t automatically constitute medical malpractice, proving negligence can be challenging for the patient.

At the Ibrahim Law Firm, our California medical malpractice lawyers can conduct an in-depth investigation, consulting with medical experts in the same field to determine what a competent medical professional would have done in a similar situation. If the medical professional would have taken a different approach to treatment when presented with factors like those in your case, you may have a valid claim for medical malpractice.

Pursuing compensation from a physician, medical facility, or another type of healthcare provider can be difficult. The sooner you hire a medical malpractice lawyer on our legal team, the better your chances are of a successful outcome to your case.

An experienced medical malpractice attorney on our legal team will identify all liable parties and provide proof that medical malpractice occurred, causing you harm.

During this difficult time, your attorney will handle every aspect of your claim, including:

Reviewing and analyzing your medical records
Reviewing hospital procedures
Ensuring all evidence is obtained and preserved
Consulting with medical experts
Calculating damages
Filing paperwork
Handling all communication with the insurance company
Negotiating a fair settlement
Filing a lawsuit, if necessary
Representing you in court

A medical malpractice lawyer’s goal is to not only make the entire legal process as low-stress as possible but to ensure you recover every penny of compensation you’re entitled to.

What is the Statute Of Limitations for Medical Malpractice?

The statute of limitations for medical malpractice in California is one year from the date you discovered the injury or three years from the date of the injury. If you fail to file a lawsuit within this time frame, your case may be dismissed and you will be unable to recover any compensation. Because time is so short, it’s important to contact an experienced medical malpractice lawyer at the Ibrahim Law Firm as soon as possible, to ensure valuable evidence is preserved and your case is filed within the statute of limitations.
