If you or a loved one has suffered due to a medical provider’s mistake, Industry medical malpractice attorney Michael L. Oran is here to help.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. This can involve doctors, nurses, hospitals, clinics, or any licensed medical professional. Common examples include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
  • Surgical errors
  • Medication mistakes
  • Birth injuries
  • Anesthesia errors
  • Failure to obtain informed consent

How to Know If You Have a Medical Malpractice Case

Not every poor medical outcome is malpractice. To have a valid claim, you must prove:

  • The negligence directly caused your injury
  • You suffered damages (physical, emotional, or financial)

Attorney Michael L. Oran can help you determine whether your case meets these standards during a free consultation.

Statute of Limitations in California

In California, you generally have one year from the date you discovered (or should have discovered) the injury to file a medical malpractice claim. Alternatively, you have three years from the date of injury, whichever comes first. Failing to file within this window may prevent you from recovering compensation. For more details, refer to California Code of Civil Procedure § 340.5.

Types of Compensation You May Be Entitled To

If your case is successful, you may recover compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of consortium

Keep in mind that California places a cap on non-economic damages (like pain and suffering) in medical malpractice cases. As of 2023, this cap is set to gradually increase under the AB 35 legislation, starting at $350,000 for non-death cases and $500,000 for wrongful death cases.
