Experienced California Medical Malpractice Attorneys
A patient’s trust in the skill of a healthcare professional is fundamental to their ability to recover from an injury or illness. When that trust is violated, victims can suffer traumatic and life-changing damage that requires compensation to make them whole again. A successful medical malpractice lawsuit involves many processes and thorough preparation under strict deadlines, so retaining an experienced Irvine legal team is essential from the beginning.
Malpractice is defined as a breach of duty in which a professional deviates from the accepted standard of care for his or her field. As an attorney and doctor, Bradley Kramer is equipped to handle any type of medical malpractice claim involving real injury or death caused by a health care provider’s negligence. The key to any successful malpractice case is proving that a health care provider’s actions or failure to act constituted a breach of their duty of care, directly resulted in your injury, and that you would not have suffered the injury but for the breach of the doctor’s duty of care.
Experienced California Medical Malpractice Attorneys claim, evidence may come from several sources. A medical malpractice lawyer’s careful review of medical records may reveal timeline inconsistencies, communication gaps between providers, or negligence red flags. Expert testimony can also bolster family conjecture and provide a factual second opinion that strengthens the case. The attorney will also consider eyewitness accounts that could be used as evidence of malpractice.
Once your Orange County medical malpractice lawyer determines that you have a case, they can pursue a demand for compensatory damages from the liable parties. These compensatory damages include past and future medical expenses, physical therapy, medications, lost earnings, loss of quality of life, and more. The specific amounts you could receive are case-specific, so the lawyer will take time to thoroughly investigate and establish all types of damages that are applicable to your individual situation.
Medical malpractice claims are governed by different laws than other personal injury cases, which makes it even more important to retain the help of an experienced medical malpractice lawyer. The lawyers at Heimberg Barr LLP have extensive experience representing clients with catastrophic injuries caused by medical malpractice and other types of negligence.
