If you are a Kaiser Permanente  member, you may not be aware that your legal options are limited if you are the victim of medical malpractice. Kaiser Permanente includes provisions in all of their group health insurance policies prohibiting you from filing a lawsuit in court and requiring you waive your right to a jury trial. If you wish to pursue a medical malpractice claim against a Southern California Permanente Medical Group doctor or a Kaiser Permanente Hospital, you must submit your claim to binding arbitration. The arbitration rules are very strict and the California Supreme Court has said in the past, Kaiser Permanente has abused this system to take unfair advantage of its members who were pursuing medical malpractice claims. Statistics show that individuals who represent themselves in these proceedings lose 75% of the time! If you are a Kaiser member and you have suffered a personal injury or the death of a family member as the result of negligence or carelessness by one of your medical providers, you need an attorney who understands the Kaiser Arbitration system and who has a history of successfully representing Kaiser members in Kaiser arbitration proceedings.

Steve Weinberg has successfully represented Kaiser Permanente members throughout the state since 1978.
