Hospital negligence occurs when a medical professional, healthcare provider or facility breaches their duty of care by acting in a way that no reasonable professional would under the same circumstances. Some examples include:

• Misdiagnosing or failing to diagnose serious conditions
• Surgical mistakes and errors
• Anesthesia errors
• Birth injuries to mother or baby
• Medication errors and overdoses
• Preventable infections
• Delayed treatment

These kinds of errors can lead to catastrophic injury, permanent disability, worsened prognosis or even death.

If it can be established that your doctor, nurse, technician, hospital or other provider acted negligently, resulting in harm, then there may be grounds to pursue a malpractice claim and receive compensation. An experienced Los Banos medical malpractice lawyer can help investigate what went wrong and build a strong case on your behalf.

Some of the most common types of hospital and doctor negligence we see in Los Banos and Merced County include:

• Brain damage
• Cerebral palsy
• Paralysis
• Infant death

These often occur when doctors or nurses fail to promptly identify fetal distress, improperly administer anesthesia, make mistakes during labor & delivery, fail to perform C-sections in a timely manner or otherwise breach the standard of care.

Failing to properly diagnose a condition, or delaying diagnosis for too long, can allow diseases and disorders to severely worsen. Some examples include:

• Cancer misdiagnosis
• Heart attack misdiagnosis
• Stroke failure to diagnosis

• Wrong-site surgery
• Retained foreign objects after surgery
• Intraoperative injuries
• Improperly performed procedures
• Unnecessary surgery

Anesthesia errors, equipment failures, reckless techniques and other surgical mistakes can all cause serious harm as well.

• Wrong drugs or dosages administered
• Adverse drug interactions
• Pharmacy dispensing errors
• Prescription overdoses/underdoses

• Infection due to unsterile equipment
• Failure to monitor patients appropriately
• Improper equipment usage
• Bed sores
• Falls
• Burn injuries

These are just some of the ways doctors, nurses, technicians, dentists, chiropractors and other providers often breach standard practices, resulting in damage and injury.

Here are answers to some common questions regarding medical negligence cases:

Malpractice lawyers handle negligence cases against doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, nurses and other healthcare providers that cause injury to patients. They investigate errors, build strong legal claims, negotiate settlements pre-trial or file lawsuits and argue for damages in court.

The value of a med mal case depends on the severity of injury/illness caused, the duration of additional treatment needed, the amount of pain/suffering inflicted, lost income and other damages. Experienced lawyers determine liability and form a damages demand during settlements or trials. Cases can be worth anywhere from thousands to millions.

Top medical malpractice lawyers work on contingency, meaning legal fees come from winning case settlements/awards - not upfront. If no damages are recovered, no fees owed. Free consultations are also offered. This opens access to justice for all by removing financial barriers.

From surgical errors to improper prescriptions and more, doctors/nurses breaching accepted standards of care causing harm qualifies as negligence. However, not all medical errors meet the technical threshold - a lawyer can best assess the merits of your specific case.

Every state has strict statutes of limitations on filing negligence lawsuits - 1-3 years generally. Evidence can fade over time, so acting quickly when seeking damages against healthcare providers is essential to success. A lawyer will know your exact filing deadlines.
