At Yarijanian & Associates, PLC, we handle medical malpractice cases and advance all costs associated with pursuing your claim, including expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court filing fees. Our fee structure will be clearly explained during your free initial consultation.
In California, you generally have three years from the date of discovery of the injury or one year from the date you discovered (or should have discovered) that your injury was caused by medical negligence, whichever occurs first. However, there is an absolute limit of three years from the date of the injury, with some exceptions.
For cases involving foreign objects left in the body, you have one year from discovery. It's crucial to consult with an attorney immediately to ensure your claim is filed within the required timeframe.
To succeed in a medical malpractice case in California, you must prove four key elements:
Duty of care: The healthcare provider had a professional duty to provide care that met accepted medical standards.
Breach of duty: The provider failed to meet the applicable standard of care.
Causation: The provider's breach of duty directly caused your injury or worsened your condition.
Damages: You suffered actual harm, such as additional medical expenses, pain and suffering, or lost income as a result of the negligence.
Yes, California law requires that medical malpractice cases be supported by qualified medical experts who can testify about the applicable standard of care and how it was breached. These experts must be licensed healthcare professionals with relevant experience in the same field as the defendant.
Our firm works with a network of respected medical experts who can review your case, provide opinions on the care you received, and testify on your behalf if necessary. The cost of these experts is advanced by our firm as part of your representation.
In California medical malpractice cases, you may be eligible to recover several types of damages:
Economic damages: Medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, and other out-of-pocket expenses related to the malpractice.
Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Note that California caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000, though this amount may increase in future years.
Punitive damages: These are rarely awarded in medical malpractice cases and only in cases involving extreme misconduct.
Medical malpractice cases are complex and typically take longer to resolve than other personal injury cases. Most cases take 1-3 years from filing to resolution, depending on various factors including:
The complexity of the medical issues involved, the availability of expert witnesses, the extent of your injuries and future medical needs, the willingness of the defendants to negotiate, and court scheduling.
While we work diligently to resolve cases as efficiently as possible, we never rush to accept inadequate settlements. Our priority is securing the full compensation you deserve for your injuries and losses.
