When a medical professional in California makes an error, it can cause significant damage and injury. A LA Medical Malpractice Law Firm can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Legal malpractice claims can be complex, requiring the right legal expertise to succeed. These types of cases allege that a former attorney made a judgment error or engaged in misconduct, costing you money and opportunities.

Experience

Medical malpractice attorneys are a group of legal professionals who specialize in fighting for patients who have been harmed by the negligence of healthcare providers. Whether it’s a misdiagnosis, surgical mistake, or negligent maternity care resulting in birth injuries, these incidents can cause serious and life-altering consequences.

When these mistakes happen, it can be hard to know what to do. However, it is important to remember that you have a right to fight for the compensation you deserve.

Securing legal accountability can help families afford lifetime rehabilitation and medical care without the crushing burden of financial stress. While money cannot reverse permanent physical deficits or replace the loss of a loved one, it does provide an avenue for mitigating the damages that can be incurred. Proving legal malpractice often requires evidence of an attorney-client relationship and breach of duty, such as an email exchange, signed contract, or billing records. For this reason, it is essential to retain a legal malpractice lawyer with extensive experience in this area of law.

Attorneys play an integral role in almost every major business transaction. They must attend to the details of contracts, address contingencies and provide accurate advice about potential risks in order to protect their clients from needless exposure and financial loss. In rare instances, an attorney may make a judgment error or engage in misconduct that rises to the level of legal malpractice. The Los Angeles law firm of Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP, can represent individuals and businesses that have suffered substantial financial losses due to an attorney’s mistake or misstep.

Our attorneys’ tenacious and thorough legal representation is well-known in Los Angeles and across Southern California. Our team’s track record includes multiple million-dollar plus verdicts and settlements in cases involving medical malpractice, catastrophic injuries, personal injury and more.

Hospitals in LA are often the site of medical negligence, such as surgical errors and medication mistakes. Teaching hospitals, with their involvement of medical students and trainees, are more susceptible to such errors due to a lack of experience. Community hospitals and clinics are also at risk because of resource constraints or staffing shortages.

When a doctor betrays a patient’s trust, it can cause irreparable harm and lifelong disabilities. Seeking legal accountability and a fair recovery can mitigate the crushing burdens that such incidents impose upon victims and their families.

Commitment

Legal malpractice is when a lawyer – or law firm – breaches a fiduciary duty in a case and causes injury. Victims of legal malpractice are entitled to compensation that essentially “makes them whole.” This means that they are awarded enough money to cover their losses and return them to the position they would have been in had they not suffered due to the lawyer’s breach.

Our attorneys have litigated a large number of cases and received multi-million dollar awards for clients who were harmed due to legal malpractice. We are prepared to examine your case and provide genuine advocacy that will ensure justice is served.

Medical malpractice claims often involve hospitals, clinics and medical offices that are a part of larger healthcare networks such as St. Jude Heritage Medical Group, Emanate Health, Kaiser Permanente and others. These types of institutions often have medical students or trainees working alongside experienced physicians, presenting situations that can lead to errors.
