LA Hospital Malpractice Law
There is nothing quite as devastating as seeking medical treatment for an illness, only to discover that the health care professional you trusted with your life made things worse. Medical malpractice happens all too often, and many victims are left with permanent or disabling injuries. If you or someone you love has suffered from medical malpractice at a Los Angeles area hospital, it’s important to speak with an experienced legal team as soon as possible. Our firm can help you file a claim and recover the compensation that you deserve.
When you are the victim of LA Hospital Malpractice Law, it is necessary to prove that the healthcare provider’s actions were negligent and directly caused your harm. To be successful in a malpractice case, you must also show that your injuries were severe enough to warrant financial compensation. Typically, this compensation includes medical bills, lost income, and other tangible costs. However, damages can also include non-tangible costs like pain and suffering or emotional distress. It is essential that you understand how to calculate these damages properly in order to receive the full amount of money you are entitled to.
Depending on the severity of your injury, you may be able to file a lawsuit against a hospital and other healthcare professionals. If you are unsure whether or not your case is viable, it is critical to consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible. Our attorneys can review your case for free, and if we decide to represent you, we will not charge a fee unless we recover compensation for your damages.
In addition to proving that the doctor’s actions were negligent, you must also prove that these actions were a breach of duty. This means that the doctor owed you a duty to treat you with care, skill, and caution, and that they failed to meet this standard of care. To prove this, we can employ expert witnesses to provide a deeper understanding of complex medical procedures and norms. These experts can explain the standards of care that would be expected in a particular situation, and they can describe how the healthcare provider’s actions deviated from these expectations, causing patient harm.
