Medical Malpractice Attorney in Los Angeles

The “standard of care” is determined by the medical community, in order to ensure that all patients receive the same level of treatment, regardless of their geographic location. Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional doesn’t provide an acceptable level of care, and their actions cause harm to the patient.

For example, a woman goes to the doctor after feeling sick for a few days. The doctor incorrectly reviews her medical information and gives the woman a medication she is allergic to. The woman takes the medication and has an allergic reaction, causing her condition to become more severe.
