At The Law Office of Joshua P. Koshki, we are dedicated to helping people in and around Los Angeles attain maximum compensation for damages resulting from medical malpractice.
There are a variety of other reasons people file medical malpractice claims. For instance, a delayed diagnosis or failure to diagnose is one of the reasons people file malpractice claims.
Other reasons include:
- Misdiagnosis or a failure to diagnose.
- Needless surgery.
- Poor aftercare.
- Failing to take an appropriate medical history.
- Disregarding a patient’s medical history.
- Incorrect medication.
- Improper medication dosage.
- Performing surgery at the wrong site.
- Discharging the patient too early.
- Failure to identify symptoms.
- Neglecting to order proper testing.
- Ignoring or misreading a laboratory result.
If you have sustained injuries or became ill due to any of the reasons listed above, you may want to consider seeking legal representation.
Under the law, for a medical malpractice claim to be valid, the plaintiff must prove the following:
- There was a standard of care violation.
- Negligence caused the injury or illness.
- The injury or illness resulted in considerable damages that led to the loss of income, disability, pain, significant medical bills, hardship, suffering, and the potential for substantial medical bills in the future.
Unless gross negligence or intent is proven, California law places a cap of $250,000 on the amount of money a medical malpractice claimant can demand in non-economic damages (e.g., pain, suffering, emotional distress).
If you, or someone you know, are dealing with injuries or an illness associated with errors made by a medical professional or facility, please contact The Law Office of Joshua P. Koshki today to schedule your consultation.
