Injury Attorney Scott Glovsky - Serving the Claremont, Pasadena, and LA Areas

Doctors are respected authority figures in our society whom most people would trust with their lives. When doctors fail to provide adequate treatment, though, they can be held legally responsible for the damage they cause.

If you or a loved one suffered medical malpractice at the hands of a doctor, nurse, or another healthcare provider, you may be eligible for compensation. Call a Los Angeles region medical malpractice lawyer today to set up a confidential consultation. Just one conversation with a knowledgeable attorney can shed light on your options.

Common Kinds of Medical Malpractice in California

Medical malpractice victims are often some of the most vulnerable members of society: the elderly and young children. Both groups can struggle to communicate their needs to family and advocate for themselves. Nursing homes, in particular, can be notoriously ripe for abuse and neglect, but they are just one setting where medical malpractice occurs.

Medical malpractice also commonly results in birth injuries due to medical mistakes. In deliveries where even something minor goes wrong, unobservant doctors may miss important red flags. Misuse of birthing tools like forceps and vacuum extractors can lead to serious and potentially permanent injury to the infant.

Sometimes the care the patient does not receive is more telling than the care they do. A failure to diagnose a patient can qualify as medical malpractice, as may a misdiagnosis. In addition, surgical errors and prescription drug errors can all have serious ramifications for a patient—and result in serious legal trouble for the doctor in question.

Compensation for Victims of Medical Malpractice in California

Victims of medical malpractice have the right to pursue compensation from the doctor, nurse, or another healthcare provider whose actions (or inaction) led to their pain and suffering. While every case is different, victims frequently pursue compensation in the following forms:

Medical bills
Lost wages
Loss of earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Psychological damage
Punitive damages

No two cases are alike, so it is virtually impossible to know for sure how much a case could be worth without first speaking to an attorney. A Los Angeles region medical malpractice attorney could help victims understand their rights and how much their case could net in a court of law. The settlements received by medical malpractice victims may ensure an easier recovery time and a future less fraught with financial anxieties.

How an LA County Medical Malpractice Attorney Can Help

It can be difficult for victims of medical malpractice to know if they have indeed been neglected or mistreated by their healthcare provider. Few people who are not already doctors know enough about medical procedures to recognize when doctors deviate from the standard of care. That is where a medical malpractice lawyer in Los Angeles, Claremont, and Pasadena can come in.

By partnering with medical experts, an attorney can thoroughly investigate concerns about a doctor’s treatment plan and determine if mistreatment or neglect occurred. Those same experts may serve as expert witnesses should your case go to trial.

Throughout the entire process of pursuing a medical malpractice case, your attorney may be your best advocate and closest ally, looking out for your best interests while you rest and recuperate. Call medical malpractice lawyer Scott Glovsky today for a no-risk consultation.
