Medical Malpractice

Northern California Medical Malpractice Claims

Work with an Experienced Sacramento County Medical Malpractice Attorney

Medical errors continue to be a significant cause of serious injury and premature death in hospitals, clinics, day surgery, nursing homes and retail pharmacies. This is a tragedy in a health care system that is supposed to be the best in the world.

Some medical errors are the result of negligence by an individual health care provider: a doctor who leaves a sponge in a patient after surgery, a radiologist who fails to read a mammogram or a scan properly, a pharmacist who fills a prescription incorrectly or provides improper instructions for use.

In at least half the cases of medical malpractice (according to the Institute of Medicine), injuries result from hospital errors and failure to implement and maintain standard best practices, such as when hospitals fail to use available technology to minimize pharmacy errors, or nursing homes fail to properly train and supervise staff.

Medical errors can be avoided…unfortunately, it sometimes takes a successful medical malpractice lawsuit to bring needed change. If you or a loved one has suffered serious injury and you suspect medical malpractice, contact the Weinberg Law Firm in Roseville, California.

Bringing a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

Medical malpractice claims are complex and very difficult to win. Doctors rarely admit mistakes and their colleagues will typically not testify against them. Law firms that accept medical malpractice cases must invest substantial time and money to hire the expert medical witnesses needed to prove that an error occurred.
