Sacramento Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Medical Malpractice & Negligence Lawyers in Sacramento, California

It can be expected that there will be times in your life when you will need the skill and care of someone in the medical field, and it is likely that you will receive professional and correct care, and recover for the condition that caused you to seek medical help in the first place. But the medical profession is not perfect, and unfortunately there are situations where negligence, poor judgment or gross errors are made which have a serious, negative impact on the outcome of a patient, maybe even leading to death for that patient. A skilled Sacramento medical malpractice attorney is a necessity in these situations so you can seek and recover compensation for the damages you have suffered.

Medical malpractice occurs when improper, unskilled or negligent treatment is given to a patient by a medical practitioner. This practitioner could be a medical doctor, dentist, osteopath, nurse, surgeon, pharmacist, psychiatrist or other health care professional in performing the diagnosis, treatment or illness management of a patient. They may be liable for the care they provided when it resulted in harming or injuring the patient, if their care is shown to be negligent or lacking the care that would be expected of a qualified professional in similar circumstances. A lawyer can help you prove the liability or negligent conduct of a doctor in order to help you obtain maximum compensation for your claim.

Typical malpractice cases involve surgical errors, birth injuries, incorrect diagnosis, nursing home negligence, errors in anesthesia, incorrect or careless medication, psychiatric malpractice leading to patient suicide, nursing staff malpractice and wrongful death.

Proof in a Sacramento Medical Malpractice Claim

When a lawyer is seeking damages in a malpractice suit, the following must be proven:

  • The physician or medical professional violated the standard of care for that medical situation.
  • The injury or condition is the result of negligence or wrongdoing on the part of that physician or medical professional.
  • Clear and substantial evidence that the damage or injury was caused by malpractice or negligence.
