Pasadena Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Medical mistakes can have devastating consequences, including severe injuries and medical costs that can accumulate and overwhelm families. If you or someone you love suffered harm because of a doctor’s negligence, you have the right to pursue compensation.

You will likely face numerous hurdles while trying to prove medical malpractice, so you should work closely with a Pasadena medical malpractice lawyer who has handled these complex cases before. At Levin & Nalbandyan Trial Lawyers, our personal injury attorneys have seen the effects these injuries have on victims’ lives and fight hard to secure fair settlements.

What Should You Do After Medical Malpractice?

After experiencing medical malpractice, taking prompt action could protect your health and preserve your legal rights. The following are important steps you should take after experiencing negligent care from a medical professional.

Seek Immediate Medical Attention

Your first step should be to address any complications or injuries resulting from the malpractice. Consult a qualified healthcare provider for proper treatment to correct mistakes or manage new conditions caused by the misconduct.

A second opinion from another healthcare provider documents the substandard care you received and establishes the harm caused. New medical records could provide evidence linking your condition to the original provider’s errors. Delaying seeking a second opinion may give an insurer cause to question the severity of your injuries, which may affect the validity of your claim.

Contact a Medical Malpractice Attorney

Our medical malpractice lawyers could evaluate your case and advise you regarding the path forward. We could investigate whether the healthcare provider breached the standard of care, determine if that breach caused your injuries, and assess your claim’s viability.

Our attorneys could also gather medical records, consult expert witnesses, and handle all communications with healthcare providers and insurance companies. Further, we could use evidence to negotiate with insurers or litigate for a fair and just settlement.

California’s statute of limitations allows victims to file a lawsuit three years from the injury date or one year from discovery. Our attorneys at Levin & Nalbandyan Trial Lawyers understand the applicable deadlines and could file a timely medical misconduct claim in Pasadena to protect your right to compensation.

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY?

Personal injury cases are some of the most common civil litigation cases—also known as “tort actions” or “lawsuits”—in the United States.
