Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Malpractice Cases

What is considered medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice refers to harm or injury caused by negligent medical treatment, including surgical errors, misdiagnosis, or delayed diagnosis, medication errors, and failure to provide appropriate care. These injuries can occur in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, or other healthcare settings and may result from doctor negligence, hospital errors, or careless medical staff. 

How do I know if I have a medical malpractice claim?

To have a valid medical malpractice claim, you must prove that the healthcare provider or doctor was negligent, meaning they failed to meet the accepted standard of care, and that this medical negligence caused harm. Consulting with our experienced California medical malpractice attorneys at KAASS LAW is crucial in determining whether you have a case. Medical malpractice claims can be complex and often require expert medical testimony and detailed review of hospital records. Our legal team will help guide you through the process to protect your patient rights and pursue the fair compensation. 

What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and any future medical costs related to the injury. In some medical malpractice cases, punitive damages may also be awarded if the healthcare provider's actions were reckless or egregious. An experienced medical malpractice lawyer can help calculate your total recoverable damages and fight for fair and just compensation.

How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim?

The statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice claim in California is generally three years from the date of the injury or one year from the discovery of the injury, whichever comes first. Note, that the statute of limitations for minors is different.
Because filing deadlines are strict and evidence may fade over time, it is essential to contact a qualified California malpractice attorney at KAASS LAW as soon as possible to preserve your legal rights and ensure your claim is filed on time. 

How can an attorney help with my medical malpractice case?

An experienced medical malpractice attorney can help by gathering medical records, consulting with medical experts, and evaluating whether your injury was caused by medical negligence. At KAASS LAW, we can negotiate with insurance companies or take your case to court to pursue the compensation you may be entitled to.
