Understanding Medical Malpractice in Pomona
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care expected in their profession, leading to a patient’s injury or death. Examples include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and failure to treat a condition appropriately. In Pomona, where institutions like Cal Poly Pomona and major events at Fairplex attract thousands, timely and accurate medical care is crucial — and lapses can have severe consequences.
Michael L. Oran, a seasoned medical malpractice attorney with over 30 years of experience, offers compassionate and aggressive legal representation for victims of medical negligence throughout Pomona and Los Angeles County.
Common Types of Medical Malpractice Cases
- Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failure to correctly identify a condition like cancer or a heart attack can delay life-saving treatment.
- Surgical Errors: Wrong-site surgery, leaving surgical instruments in the body, or operating on the wrong patient are all devastating mistakes.
- Birth Injuries: Medical negligence during labor and delivery can result in permanent injuries to the infant, such as cerebral palsy or Erb’s palsy.
- Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong medication or incorrect dosage can cause serious harm or even death.
- Hospital Negligence: Inadequate staffing, poor sanitation, or failure to monitor patients can lead to life-threatening complications.
Your Rights Under California Law
Under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 340.5, victims of medical malpractice generally have three years from the date of injury or one year from the date the injury was discovered (or should have been discovered) to file a lawsuit. However, there are exceptions, especially in cases involving minors or fraudulent concealment. Consulting with a qualified attorney like Michael L. Oran early in the process is critical to preserving your rights.
