Alhambra Medical Malpractice Attorney
Located in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley with a population of over 83,000 residents, Alhambra is a vibrant city known for its rich cultural diversity. With nearly half of its population identifying as Asian and over a third as Hispanic or Latino, Alhambra is home to a community that deeply values family and healthcare. Unfortunately, even in a city with reputable medical facilities and practitioners, medical errors can and do occur. When they do, you need a trusted legal advocate like Michael L. Oran, A.P.C. to help you pursue justice.
Understanding Medical Malpractice in Alhambra
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care and causes injury or harm to a patient. These cases can arise in hospitals, clinics, and private practices across Alhambra and the greater Los Angeles area. Whether you seek care near Valley Boulevard’s medical offices, at a local urgent care, or from a specialist in nearby Pasadena, you have the right to competent and professional medical treatment.
Common examples of medical malpractice include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Medication errors
- Anesthesia mistakes
- Birth injuries
- Failure to obtain informed consent
If you or a loved one has been harmed due to a medical provider’s negligence, the law may entitle you to compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Alhambra medical malpractice attorney Michael L. Oran has decades of experience holding negligent healthcare providers accountable throughout Southern California.

California Medical Malpractice Laws
Medical malpractice claims in California are governed by strict legal standards and deadlines. According to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 340.5, victims generally have one year from the date of discovery of the injury (or three years from the date of the injury, whichever comes first) to file a claim. There are some exceptions, particularly for cases involving minors or fraud, but timing is crucial.
California also places a cap on non-economic damages (such as pain and suffering) in medical malpractice cases. Under the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA), this cap was recently adjusted and will increase annually, but it still affects the compensation victims can receive. Attorney Michael L. Oran stays up to date with these changes to ensure your claim is valued appropriately.
