Bay Area Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Surgical Errors • Misdiagnoses • Birth Injuries • Medication Errors
The law requires medical doctors and other healthcare professionals to meet minimum standards of care. When they do not — and injuries occur — they can be held legally and financially responsible.
Many of the most significant cases the Northern California law office of Furtado, Jaspovice & Simons LC has tackled in the past 50 years have involved medical malpractice, including nursing negligence and elder abuse. We have the staff and resources in place to immediately move your case forward.
- We have a nurse consultant on staff who works closely with our attorneys to review medical records to identify the information we need to build our case.
- We work with top notch medical experts from around the state and the nation.
- We handle professional and medical negligence cases for members of Kaiser Permanente of California. We can represent you in Kaiser arbitration hearings.
If you believe you or a family member suffered serious injury or a worsened medical condition because of negligence on the part of a doctor, nurse, radiologist, pharmacist or clinic, contact our Hayward, California law office. (To learn more about our nursing home negligence practice, see our elder law injury Web site.)
Fighting for fair compensation in medical malpractice cases
The law in California has shifted sharply toward protecting healthcare providers from patients rather than patients from negligent care. That makes it even more important to work with a highly experienced law firm with a track record of proven results. We have tackled a wide range of medical malpractice cases, including:
- Failure to diagnose cancer and other illnesses, or misdiagnosis resulting in delayed treatment
- Surgical mistakes and surgeon error
- Emergency room errors, failing to take a medical history, failing to diagnose stroke or a heart attack
- Prescription errors such as providing the wrong medicine, wrong dosage, or drugs administered improperly
- Failure to perform a C-section or properly monitor mother or fetus, resulting in birth injuries
Medical malpractice may be a symptom of misplaced values
Medicine is a business run by large corporations that make decisions based on financial considerations, sometimes over patient needs. Hospitals are understaffed and employees are overworked, poorly trained or poorly supervised. Sometimes the only way to improve hospital safety is to hold the hospital financially accountable for the unnecessary injuries and premature deaths caused by negligence.
Our goal is to ensure you receive compensation and justice if you were injured or a loved one died because of medical negligence. We are strong, tough and experienced legal advocates for patients.
