Serving the Diverse Community of Alhambra

What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse, hospital, or other healthcare provider fails to provide proper medical care, resulting in harm to the patient. These mistakes are often preventable and can have lifelong consequences. Examples of medical malpractice include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Medication errors
- Birth injuries
- Anesthesia mistakes
- Failure to obtain informed consent
If you believe you or a family member has been harmed due to medical negligence in Alhambra, it’s vital to seek legal counsel immediately. California law imposes strict deadlines for filing medical malpractice claims.

Understanding California’s Medical Malpractice Laws
California has specific laws governing medical malpractice claims, including the statute of limitations, which generally allows one year from the date of discovery of the injury, or a maximum of three years from the date of injury, whichever comes first. Additionally, California caps non-economic damages (such as pain and suffering) in medical malpractice cases at $350,000 for non-death cases and $500,000 for wrongful death cases, increasing incrementally over time under recent legislation.
These laws make it even more important to have an experienced attorney who understands how to navigate the complexities of California’s legal system.
