Medical Malpractice Attorney in Woodland Hills, California
Medical Negligence
When you feel ill and visit a doctor you expect to receive an accurate diagnosis and competent medical care. Unfortunately, there are times when doctors, even specialists, discount their patients’ symptoms or miss important signs of more serious conditions or fail to order important tests. In the meantime, for the patient, the disease can progress beyond the point of recovery or result in life long physical disability.
This is only one type of medical negligence — there are literally thousands of possible scenarios where the carelessness of a doctor or staff member can lead to serious injury and even death.
This is the time when you need to immediately consult with an experienced medical malpractice attorney.

Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
When you seek medical care, doctors are required to make the right diagnosis and to properly treat your condition in sufficient time so that you can recover as quickly as possible. Doctors that make the wrong diagnosis or delay in making the right one, can lead to serious injury and even death.
Failure To Order Tests Or Refer You To A Specialists
In diagnosing your condition, doctors are expected to order and/or perform all reasonably necessary tests in order to formulate an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for you. Doctors must also competently treat you and follow your progress through recovery.
If your doctor does not possess the necessary expertise to competently diagnose and treat your condition, your doctor must refer you to one that does. Failure to make a timely referral to the right medical specialist is a common form of medical negligence.
Don’t Delay – Find Out If You Have A Case
Before accepting a medical malpractice case, law firms are required by law to perform a diligent investigation into the facts and legal issues presented in your case. Sometimes we need to first order and obtain your medical records and it may be necessary that we consult with medical specialists about your case. These steps take time.
Therefore, if you suspect that you or your loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, reach out to us as soon as you can and receive a no-charge consultation by one of our medical malpractice attorneys.
