What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional fails to provide their patient with a certain standard of care and deviates from accepted medical standards. Medical malpractice claims commonly include recklessness or negligence by a healthcare provider that results in further injury to their patient.
What are some common types of medical malpractice?
Common types of medical malpractice include misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, childbirth injuries, anesthesia errors and a failure to treat a medical condition. Any of these errors can lead to catastrophic injuries or death. In the event a healthcare provider’s negligence or recklessness causes a patient to suffer further injury, or even death, there may be legitimate personal injury claim for medical malpractice or cause to pursue a wrongful death claim.
How do I know if I have a valid medical malpractice claim?
To have a valid medical malpractice claim, you must prove that a healthcare professional’s negligence directly caused your injury. Attorney Asadi can help you establish these elements, including proof of care between a doctor and patient, negligence, the damage the negligence caused, and the costs of those damages.
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases in California?
In California, the statute of limitations for a medical malpractice case is one year from the date you discovered the injury or three years from the date the injury occurred, whichever comes first. It is important to act fast after your injuries. Evidence in a medical malpractice claim will be more difficult to obtain the longer you wait.
How long does a medical malpractice case typically take to resolve?
Medical malpractice cases can vary in duration, typically taking anywhere from several months to several years. Factors influencing the timeline include the complexity of the case, availability of evidence, court schedules, and the willingness of the parties involved to settle the case. No matter how complex your claim may seem, attorney Asadi is prepared to fight for the outcome you deserve while seeking to minimize the time it takes to reach that resolution.
What kind of compensation can I expect in a medical malpractice case?
Every case is different and unique. Compensation in medical malpractice cases may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can help you assess your case and evaluate your potential claims. Attorney Asadi has nearly two decades of experience in personal injury cases and medical malpractice claims and can help you assess the details of your specific case and injuries.

Instead, legal action is necessary to ensure victims receive every penny they deserve.
