Los Angeles Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Doctor/Hospital Malpractice 

Many circumstances can lead to a doctor or hospital malpractice case.  Anytime a doctor or hospital fails to provide adequate treatment to a patient, medical malpractice may occur.  This may include a surgical injury, medication error, ordering the wrong tests, mixing up a patient’s information, misdiagnosing cancer, misreading a patient’s heart monitor or medical chart, etc.  While all of these are valid examples of medical malpractice, the key to winning a hospital/doctor malpractice case is to establish the connection between the negligent care and the effect it had on the patient’s condition.  Because many patients are admitted into hospitals with pre-existing conditions, the patient’s attorney has the burden of proving the doctor or hospital was negligent in their care and/or treatment, and that the negligent treatment was what caused or contributed to the patient’s injuries or condition.

When a patient suffers harm due to the medical treatment he or she received while in the hospital, both the doctor and the hospital may be named as defendants in a medical malpractice lawsuit.   Many of the doctors who work in hospitals are independent contractors, which means if they are sued for medical malpractice they will be held liable for paying damages to the victim themselves.  If a nurse or other hospital staff member is named as a defendant in a medical malpractice case, the hospital would be held legally accountable for paying damages.
