Los Angeles Wrongful Death Attorney

Medical Malpractice and Wrongful Death Claims

When a person is hurt and needs surgery to repair a condition, they're expecting the procedure to increase their physical health or address the condition.  When going in from the surgery, they put their trust in trained medical professionals and facilities.  Tragically, instead of fixing the problem and getting them back on the road to good health, mistakes made by the medical team can be fatal.

If you have lost a loved one due to fatal errors made during a procedure, immediately contact a Los Angeles medical malpractice lawyer to review the circumstances surrounding the injury case.  Steven Weinberg has more than 35 years of experience dealing with medical malpractice, including cases involving wrongful death.  He has secured multiple million dollar verdicts and settlements for his clients and will work relentlessly on your behalf to support you as you seek to obtain financial compensation for your loss.

Risky Surgical Procedures

From failing to identify pulmonary embolisms to errors made with anesthesia and in the emergency room, medical negligence that resulted in loss of life are tragic events that leave families devastated.  A void is left in their life that can never be fully repaired, and the emotional loss is often compounded by the financial loss.  Families may lose the person who was primarily responsible for providing their income, leaving them struggling to cover their expenses.  A mother may also face having to raise her children on her own without the support of her husband.

Cases involving medical malpractice that leads to a wrongful death in the state of California fall under the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act, which limits the amount of damages to $250,000.  However, through his detailed understanding of the Act, Steven Weinberg has secured judgments far in excess of the $250,000. Determining all of the damages suffered by the family, including economic losses is vital in any wrongful death claim.

If you have lost a loved one in a wrongful death case, it is important to take legal action against those who caused you so much pain and suffering. An evaluation of your case early is helpful in filing a successful claim against a negligent physician, medical facility or other professional when medical malpractice led to the death of your loved one.
