Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider is negligent, that is, does something or fails to do something that a reasonably careful healthcare provider would do or would not do under the same circumstances, that results in injury or death to a patient. It includes negligence by a doctor, nurse, therapist, clinic, or hospital, including Kaiser malpractice, that causes harm, serious injury, death or loss to a patient and his or her family.
To win a medical malpractice case almost always requires an expert or experts to testify how and why the healthcare provider was negligent and how that negligence was the cause of harm, injury, or death of the patient.
If you have been injured as the medical malpractice, medical malpractice law allows you to recover from the responsible party compensation for your economic losses, such as past and future medical bills and lost wages, and to recover reasonable compensation for non-economic losses, such as past and future physical pain, mental suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, physical impairment, inconvenience, grief, anxiety, humiliation and emotional distress, subject to limits under California law.
Medical malpractice can result in serious physical and emotional harm to adults and children, including spinal injury, brain damage, and other life changing catastrophic injury.
Death of a loved one as a result of medical malpractice is called "Wrongful Death." In such cases the law allows you to recover from the responsible party compensation including lost financial support and, subject to limits under California law, reasonable compensation for the loss of the loved one's love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, protection, affection, society, moral support, and as to a spouse, the loss of enjoyment of sexual relations.
