Medical Malpractice: When you need a Los Angeles Medical Malpractice Attorney

 

Before contacting a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer or a lawyer referral service, the first and most important step is to educate yourself. If you do not know the answer to the following question, definitely read on: What is a Medical Malpractice case?

 

There are many types of medical malpractice cases. A HigherLegal™ Los Angeles medical malpractice attorney will identify each of the possible claims that should be investigated in order to fully present your case, including:  

1. Physician Negligence

1. Hospital Negligence

1. Medical Device Defect  (Product Liability)

1. Pharmaceutical Liability

 

Physician Negligence

 

Probably the most common medical malpractice case is the one against a doctor. But did you know that one of the most common methods for doctors to defend themselves in these cases is to say that your problem was caused by some other doctor who treated you, or by saying that they could not have anticipated your problem because none of your other doctors anticipated it either. A Higher Legal™ Los Angeles medical malpractice attorney will be sure to investigate and identify each of the doctors that may have some responsibility in your case so that none of the responsible parties will be able to blame the malpractice on someone else. Don’t hire a Los Angeles medical malpractice attorney who is not an expert in medical matters. Call HigherLegal™ (310) 203-8888. 

 

 

Hospital Negligence

 

The nurses and staff at a hospital are the eyes and ears of the physician. When you are in the hospital you may see your doctor once a day when he or she is doing hospital rounds. The nurses, hospital staff, the technicians, the interns and residents and all the others working in the hospital are there 24 hours a day watching over you and should be reporting your condition and significant findings to your doctor. It is not uncommon for a hospital to defend a mistake that is made by one of its “employees” or “agents” by claiming it is your doctor’s fault.  A HigherLegal™ Los Angeles medical malpractice attorney will be sure to investigate and identify each of the individuals at the hospital who may share some responsibility in your case so that none of the responsible parties will be prosecuted. Additionally, your HigherLegal™ Los Angeles medical malpractice attorney will be an expert in evaluating the hospital policies and procedures to make sure that every possible action was taken by the hospital as required by law to ensure your health care.

Medical Device Defect  

 

Sometimes Los Angeles medical malpractice attorneys forget to investigate or include the manufacturer or distributor of a defective medical device in your medical malpractice case. This can be disastrous. Why would they forget? Because lawyers who do not regularly prosecute medical malpractice cases focus on the conduct of the doctors and nurses and forget that one of the potential sources of liability can be a medical device used in your treatment.  Why is this disastrous?  For two reasons: First: Under California law there is no limitation on the amount of pain & suffering damages you can collect in a product liability case, but there is a limit on the amount of pain & suffering damages you can recover in a medical case. So, you may be losing a lot of money if your lawyer forgets one of the main defendants. Second: The doctor or hospital that is sued may blame your injuries on the defective medical device in an attempt to escape their own liability to you.  A HigherLegal™ Los Angeles medical malpractice attorney will be an expert in evaluating your case, including all potential defendants, doctors, hospitals and medical product manufactures. Your HigherLegal™ Los Angeles medical malpractice attorney will look at all potential medical devices, including implants, artificial shoulders, hips, knees, stents, sutures, patches, heart valves, pacemakers, defibrillators, catheters, diagnostic machines, pumps and hospital equipment.

Pharmaceutical Liability  

 

In recent years you see as many commercials on television for drugs (pharmaceuticals) as you do for automobiles and fast food. Not too many years ago it would be unheard of to have a commercial on television where the drug company was telling you to ask your doctor to give you their medicine!

 

The world has changed, and so has the field of litigation against the big multi billion dollar drug companies. There are now serious complications and/or sometimes even death caused by drugs such as Accutane, Avandia, Bexra, Celebrex, Chantix, Fosamax, Heparin Sodium USP, Ketek, Neurontin, Singulair, Trasylol, Viagra, Vytorin, Zetia, Zicam, Zyprexa and Levaquin to name a few.

We have access to the very best Los Angeles medical malpractice attorneys who have a proven track record litigating cases against the big drug manufactures. Call now: (310) 203-8888.

 

 

Expert Witnesses

 

One of the most important parts of any medical malpractice case is the medical experts who the lawyers on both sides hire. It is very easy for the lawyer who represents the doctor or hospital to hire a very good expert witness. Doctors freely come to court to testify on behalf of their fellow doctors and gladly accept the thousands of dollars in expert fees their insurance company lawyers pay them to come to court and testify that their fellow doctor did not commit malpractice.

 

On the other hand, it is very difficult for the attorney who represents you (the injured patient) to hire an expert doctor to come to court and sit in front of the accused doctor and testify that the accused doctor committed medical malpractice. The Los Angeles medical malpractice attorneys who Higher Legal™ will refer you to are the very best in the business and have access to the very best medical expert witnesses. The Los Angeles medical malpractice attorneys who Higher Legal™ will refer you to are not afraid to come to court and to tell the truth when medical negligence occurs. Be sure to hire a medical malpractice attorney in Los Angeles who is an expert in these medical matters and who has the background and resources to win your case. Get the power! Call HigherLegal™ (310) 203-8888.
