Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Medical Malpractice

Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals have difficult jobs, and in the vast majority of cases, they do these jobs well. In cases where negligence leads to injury or death, however, the responsible medical professionals deserve to be held accountable. Medical malpractice claims may involve: surgical errors, including postoperative care mistakes, gastric bypass errors, medication errors, birth injuries, failure to diagnose and misdiagnosis of cancer, infection, heart attack and strokes, pulmonary embolisms, hospital malpractice and emergency room errors, doctor and nurse errors and nursing home negligence. Medical malpractice claims often involve complex issues and medical records that often require experience and legal knowledge to handle correctly.

- Birth Injuries

Our firm understands the complex issues behind cases involving birth injuries and is committed to helping our clients through medical malpractice litigation. Talk with us if your child has suffered any of these types of birth injuries: facial paralysis, brachial plexus injury, hematoma, shoulder dystocia, forceps injuries, brain damage and traumatic brain injuries, Erb's palsy and cerebral palsy.

- Failure to Diagnose / Misdiagnosis

Our firm represents people who have been harmed because of the failure to diagnose or the misdiagnosis of medical conditions that include: breast cancer and cervical cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, infection, heart attack, stroke and pulmonary embolisms. We can help you obtain your medical records and will start examining the timeline of your treatment to see how a misdiagnosis could have taken place. Our firm will pursue the compensation that you deserve to pay for future medical treatment and other expenses.

- Surgical Errors

Clients may seek representation for serious injuries that involve: gastric bypass surgery errors, medication errors, postoperative care mistakes, anesthesia errors, radiology and X-ray errors and surgery on wrong organ or part of the body. Prior to surgery, patients typically have to sign an "informed consent" document, which outlines the possible risks of the procedure. It is important to understand informed consent, as well as how to prove causation in surgical errors cases, in order to properly evaluate your medical malpractice claim.

- Doctor Errors / Physician Malpractice

Poor communication, insufficient training and simple carelessness are often causes of doctor errors and physician malpractice. Examples of these errors include: surgical and postoperative care errors, medication errors, anesthesia errors, birth injuries, failure to diagnose and misdiagnosis and emergency room errors. Patients have a reasonable expectation that their doctors will follow the standard of care, make correct decisions and react properly when things go wrong. It is important to learn more about your rights and options when you are harmed because of the actions or inaction of your physician.

- Emergency Room Errors

Our firm represents the victims of serious injuries and wrongful death resulting from emergency room errors that include: surgical errors and postoperative care errors, medication errors, improper medical treatment from emergency medical technicians (EMTs) or during ambulance transport, delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of heart attack, stroke or other condition, waiting room delays that result in further injury and untrained or understaffed emergency room personnel.

- Fatal Medical Malpractice / Wrongful Death

Unfortunately, thousands of people die each year as the result of medical malpractice and families are left with the burden of paying for medical expenses while coping with the loss of their loved ones. If you have lost a loved one as a result of fatal medical malpractice, it is important to contact an experienced lawyer to protect your rights and handle your wrongful death claim.

- Hospital Malpractice / Hospital Negligence

While people go to hospitals for serious medical conditions and emergencies, in some cases doctors and nurses who do not follow proper procedures wind up harming patients. Hospitals have a responsibility to prevent patient injuries by adopting the appropriate practices of the health care industry. If you have been harmed due to hospital malpractice, it is in your best interest to speak with attorneys about your options.

- Kaiser Permanente Negligence

Patients in California who are seriously injured due to malpractice at Kaiser Permanente clinics and hospitals deserve to have their rights protected and to pursue monetary damages for their injuries. If you have been hurt, or a loved one has died because of negligence at a Kaiser Permanente medical facility, it is important to speak with an experienced attorney about your legal rights to compensation.

- Nursing Errors

In hospital settings, nurses are in constant contact with patients and there are many opportunities for errors to happen due to carelessness and negligence. These errors can include: medication errors, improper administration or dosage of medication, failure to monitor, communication errors with doctors, surgical or procedural errors and birth errors. When you believe that malpractice on the part of a nurse or doctor has resulted in an injury to you or someone you love, it can be difficult to get the answers that you deserve. By talking with an experienced lawyer, you can learn more about your rights.

- Nursing Home Negligence

Our firm represents individuals and their families who have suffered injuries and loss due to nursing home negligence. Managers, staff and medical professionals at these facilities deserve to be held accountable for neglect or misconduct that injures vulnerable residents, including errors such as: dehydration, malnutrition, falls, resulting in broken bones, bed sores and infections, wandering, medication errors, assault and sexual assault. Our firm feels strongly that the rights of our clients should be protected and that no one should have to endure neglect and mistreatment at the hands of those who have the responsibility of their protection.

- Psychiatric Malpractice

Our lawyers represent victims of psychiatric malpractice in cases that involve: sexual misconduct, harmful or improper use of psychotropic drugs, use of unproven or unorthodox therapeutic techniques, emotional manipulation, isolating patients from family and development of inappropriate personal relationships with patients. Our knowledgeable attorneys understand the medical issues involved and have helped many abused and manipulated psychiatric patients recover compensation for financial damages.
