Frequently Asked Questions

California Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Was my newborn's injury caused by medical malpractice?

This is where a California birth injury attorney can be of great service to you and your baby. Medical malpractice laws are specific as to what must be proven in a court of law, and to date, our clients have collected well over $500 million for our personal injury and medical malpractice actions on their behalf.

They key to any personal injury case is to investigate and thoroughly document what occurred and who was responsible. Medical charts, witness statements, fetal monitoring tapes, lab results, records of doctor visits and many other kinds of evidence will need to be quickly gathered and analyzed. Once the required information is gathered, we work hard to answer your questions and determine the proper course of action to help you and your child.

How can compensation help now and in the future?

Compensation is intended to financially resolve the medical bills you now face connected with the injury to your child and any lost wages due to time taken away from work. In addition, it can be sought to resolve the effects of a birth injury as your child ages, such as further medical procedures or special care and attention. Compensation can be sought, in some cases, for the immense emotional suffering that an injury to a newborn can cause.
