Injured patients may sue for medical malpractice (or “professional negligence”) in California. However, patients normally have one year from the date of discovery to file a claim.No lawyer will accept your case because of California’s medical malpractice damages limitations.
That isn’t always the case. Attend a free consultation with one of our compassionate California medical malpractice attorneys.
An individual who works in the medical field is considered negligent if he or she fails to exercise the amount of competence, knowledge, and care that other reasonably cautious practitioners would exercise in the same or comparable situations.In California, this degree of competence, knowledge, and care is referred to as “the standard of care” or “the duty of care,” depending on the context.
In most cases, the evidence of one or more expert witnesses is required in order to establish the standard of care. Furthermore, the plaintiff must establish that the defendant’s failure to adhere to the applicable standard of care was the direct cause of the plaintiff’s injuries.
For example, it is not sufficient to claim that the result of a specific therapy or diagnosis was inaccurate. There must have been something that the doctor should or should not have done that resulted in the patient’s harm, and this must have been the case.
In California, a plaintiff may often rely on the legal notion of res ipsa loquitur to support his or her claim. This theory presumes carelessness where the defendant’s instruments were entirely within his or her control and the harm is one that would not ordinarily arise without the defendant’s or plaintiff’s conduct being negligent.

No. In the medical industry, there is a certain margin of error that is acceptable. When a mistake deviates from the recognised norm, it is considered malpractice. Because each patient’s medical care is so unique, malpractice claims must be examined by expert attorneys to establish if a provider’s actions were negligent.
