Most patients trust their doctors implicitly, and many doctors repay that trust with betrayal. Generally, patients have almost no medical knowledge or experience. So, they’re entirely dependent on doctors for all their medical care needs. When doctors betray this sacred trust, patients get seriously injured.
Furthermore, medical negligence is not just a one-time injury. Medical malpractice leaves a lasting impact, from severe physical injuries to emotional and financial burdens that disrupt daily life. Unfortunately, such incidents are all too common, affecting patients and their families across California. Whether it’s a missed diagnosis, a preventable surgical mistake, or negligent maternity care leading to birth injuries, the effects can be life-altering or even life-ending.
In times like these, it’s essential to understand your legal rights. Pursuing a malpractice claim may seem overwhelming, but holding negligent parties accountable can help prevent future tragedies. Such a claim also helps ensure that your family receives the financial support needed for ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and other necessary resources so they do not have to depend on charitable and government handouts.

Medical malpractice can happen for many reasons, often due to negligence or improper care. These incidents can occur during diagnosis, treatment, or surgery, causing physical, emotional, or financial harm. Common causes include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and defective medical equipment, as well as birth injuries and failure to treat patients properly. Medical malpractice can lead to serious consequences, including prolonged suffering, worsened conditions, and financial burdens.

In professional negligence cases, Medical Malpractice Attorneys often focus on the standard of care. Cancer, one of the most frequently misdiagnosed medical conditions, is a good example.
The standard of care is clear in these cases. Doctors must consider the possibility of cancer, order appropriate diagnostic tests, carefully interpret the results of those tests, and base medical decisions solely on those test results. In places like Southern California, the standard of care is often higher due to greater access to medical resources. In misdiagnosis cases, that standard is even stricter. Doctors have a duty to put patient well-being first—above profits or personal convenience.
Finally, some doctors breach their duty of care by ignoring evidence or dismissing the issue as a “borderline” case that doesn’t require aggressive treatment.
