Medical Malpractice

When you seek medical care, you place your health—and in many cases, your life—in the hands of professionals who are supposed to help, not harm. Unfortunately, medical errors are one of the leading causes of injury and death in the United States. From surgical mistakes and misdiagnoses to medication errors and birth injuries, medical malpractice can have devastating consequences. If you’ve been harmed by a negligent doctor, nurse, or hospital, you may have the right to seek compensation under California law.

We understand how overwhelming and personal these cases are, and we approach every claim with empathy, diligence, and an unwavering commitment to justice.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury, illness, or death to the patient. The “standard of care” refers to the level of competence and treatment that a reasonably skilled professional would have provided under similar circumstances. If a provider deviates from that standard—by making an avoidable error, acting recklessly, or failing to take proper action—they can be held legally liable.

Malpractice isn’t just about bad outcomes. It’s about preventable harm. If a doctor’s carelessness caused your condition to worsen or created new medical complications, you may have grounds for a claim. These cases are complex and often hotly contested, but with an experienced Los Angeles medical malpractice lawyer on your side, you can build a powerful case and hold negligent parties accountable.

Common Types of Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice can take many forms, and it isn’t limited to doctors. Hospitals, nurses, technicians, and even pharmacists may all play a role in providing safe and competent care. Some of the most common examples of malpractice include delayed or incorrect diagnosis, surgical errors, anesthesia mistakes, birth injuries, and improper medication administration.

A misdiagnosis can cause a treatable condition to progress into something far more serious. Surgical errors, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside a patient, can lead to infections, internal damage, and long-term disability. In obstetrics, medical negligence during pregnancy or delivery can result in permanent harm to both the child and the mother. No matter the setting, when the proper standard of care isn’t followed, patients suffer—and they deserve to be heard.

Proving Medical Negligence in California

Medical malpractice cases require a thorough legal and medical investigation. In California, to succeed in a malpractice claim, you must prove that a healthcare provider owed you a duty of care, that they breached that duty through negligent action or inaction, and that this breach directly caused your injuries. You must also show that those injuries led to measurable damages, whether financial, physical, or emotional.

At Farzan Law, we work with medical experts and specialists who can evaluate your treatment records and testify about where and how the provider failed to meet their obligation. We review every detail, from medical charts and test results to internal protocols and staffing decisions. This detailed approach allows us to build strong, evidence-backed claims that stand up to the scrutiny of opposing counsel, insurance adjusters, and, if necessary, a jury.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Victims of medical malpractice may be entitled to financial compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. This includes medical bills related to correcting the error, long-term care costs, rehabilitation, therapy, and lost income if your ability to work has been affected. You may also be compensated for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement in severe cases.

Under California law, there are caps on certain types of damages in medical malpractice cases, particularly those involving non-economic harm. However, recent legislative changes have raised those limits and expanded the rights of victims in significant ways. At Farzan Law, we stay up to date on all changes in the law and fight to maximize every dollar of compensation available.
