San Diego Medical Malpractice Lawyers

When people seek medical care, they are entrusting their health and safety to medical professionals. Most patients are not knowledgeable about medicine and are therefore vulnerable because they must trust their doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other licensed healthcare providers to fully tend to their medical needs. Thus, medical professionals who are responsible for the health of their patients have a heightened legal obligation when caring for the sick and injured. When medical professionals do not meet their professional responsibilities, such as by failing to order tests, committing surgical errors, missing a diagnosis, delaying treatment, or prescribing improper medications among other acts, they violate their obligations to their patients.

If, in failing to fulfill obligations to his or her patients, a medical professional causes a patient to suffer injury or death, even if he merely causes a preexisting condition to worsen, then that medical professional has committed malpractice. In such cases, it may be difficult to prove that it was actually the medical professional’s conduct that caused the patient’s injury or death. Further, the complex laws governing medical malpractice can be confusing and frustrating to those who are unfamiliar with them.
