Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Hawthorne?
In California you generally have three years from the date of injury or one year from the date you discovered the injury to file a claim. This is called the statute of limitations. There are exceptions for children and cases involving foreign objects left in the body.
What damages can I recover in a California malpractice case?
You can recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages with no cap. Non-economic damages for pain and suffering are capped at 250,000 dollars under MICRA. Punitive damages are rare and only available in cases of gross negligence.
How do I prove a medical malpractice claim in Hawthorne?
You must show that a healthcare provider breached the standard of care and that this breach directly caused your injury. This usually requires expert testimony from another medical professional. Your lawyer will gather medical records and consult with experts to build your case.
