Accident Attorneys Help with California Medical Malpractice Claims
In many states, the laws concerning medical malpractice are favorable to the plaintiff. They allow for generous awards of monetary damages and make it relatively easy to pursue compensation for injuries caused by medical negligence. California is not one of these states. Accident Attorneys can help you navigate through the many details of this difficult time.
On the contrary, California is famous for its Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act, which imposes shorter statute of limitations for filing claims and allows settlements and verdicts to be paid out in periodic payment. It also limits the amount that can be recovered in non-economic damages to $250,000, a figure that was set in 1975 and has not been adjusted for inflation.

Do I Have a Valid Medical Malpractice Claim?
Unfortunately, medical errors are one of the leading causes of deaths in the United States. According to the Injury Claim Coach, individuals of all ages are affected by medical errors and negligence from physicians. The damages that can result from this type of negligence may be traumatic and painful, but not every type of malpractice claim will result in a settlement. There are certain grounds that must be proven in order for a malpractice claim to be valid.
- A medical patient must receive treatment that is classified as well below the doctor's standard of care
- The provider's actions or inaction resulted in a verifiable injury that wouldn't have occurred in any other scenario
Additionally, you must prove that you suffered serious or permanent injuries for a medical malpractice claim to be successful. If you were harmed by a medical professional, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Contact our experienced attorneys for aggressive representation in all malpractice matters!

What is the minimum amount for a personal injury settlement?
There is no minimum amount of money allowed for a personal injury settlement; every case is determined by the unique facts surrounding the claim. Additionally, most jurisdictions do not have a cap on the amount of my money that you can receive through a personal injury settlement.
In California, the amount of money that you can receive for noneconomic damages (pain, suffering, etc.) for a medical malpractice case is limited to $250,000; however, other injury settlements are not subject to this restriction.

How will I receive my personal injury settlement?
If you file a claim against an individual, his / her insurance company is probably aware of the judgment. If the insurance is unaware of the settlement, you can notify the insurer. At this point, the insurance provider should issue a check for the settlement.
If the responsible party does not have insurance, you may need to enter the settlement with the court. The court has the authority to enforce the judgment if the responsible party refuses to pay.

How much is my personal injury case worth?
Every case is different. A variety of circumstances determine the value of your claim. Property damage, medical expenses, hospitalization fees, pain, and suffering, missed wages, and many other factors can affect the outcome of your case.
You can even collect damages for future unemployment / missed wages and ongoing medical costs. Speak with a member of the legal team at Accident Attorneys to learn more about the potential value of your case.
