We are experienced in healthcare professional defense litigation and handle:
Elder abuse cases: Specific California laws allow for enhanced remedies in elder abuse cases. If the plaintiff can prove reckless and willful conduct, the damages can be much higher. This is a relatively new practice area that requires experienced advocacy. Our attorneys are experienced in cases involving nursing home facilities, bed sores, ulcers, malnutrition, abuse, and neglect.
Psychiatric negligence: Psychiatric negligence claims involve the allegation that someone was inappropriately admitted to a psychiatric facility, proper care was not provided, or a patient harmed themselves or someone else. We are experienced in the investigation of these claims and utilize case history, witness statements, and supporting professional opinions in your defense.
Birth injuries: We are experienced in handling birth injury malpractice allegations involving premature birth, loss of oxygen and learning disability matters, among other claims.
Surgical errors: Many malpractice or wrongful death claims arise out of injuries that occur during or after surgery. We will examine the facts of the case, review the level of care and consult with experts to protect your interests. We are experienced in this area of law and are not afraid to go to trial in your defense.
Failure to diagnose: Patients that receive a late diagnosis of cancer or other life threatening disease or illness often blame the doctor for not detecting the issue early enough, not performing appropriate tests, or failing to follow up on earlier examinations. We are experienced in the complexity of cases involving misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose.
Public entity defense: Our attorneys handle public entity defense with extensive experience in the specific government code in California that has various additional defenses for government and public entities. If someone wants to bring a case against a public entity, the firm will challenge the party and are not afraid to bring the case to court.
Administrative proceedings: Our firm has also defended clients in actions in front of the California Medical Board in administrative health care defense proceedings and investigations pertaining to licensing.
