San Diego Medical Malpractice Attorneys
You put your health in the hands of your doctor and other medical professionals. But what do you do when they fail you? If you have suffered a serious illness, injury or death of a loved one as the result of negligence from someone in the health care community, an experienced attorney can help you get fair compensation.
At Chihak & Associates, we are San Diego medical malpractice lawyers who have been protecting the rights of medical malpractice victims in Southern California for decades. Conducting a thorough investigation into your case, we will evaluate your claim, provide you with compassionate counsel and guide you through the recovery process.
We Are Trial Lawyers, Not Settlement Lawyers
Doctors, nurses and hospitals make medical mistakes, and when someone suffers a serious injury because the professionals fail to practice medicine to the acceptable standard of care, those mistakes are considered malpractice. We have the resources and experience to provide you with quality representation geared toward exceptional results in a wide range of medical malpractice cases, including:
- Cancer misdiagnosis: You want to catch cancer as soon as possible. A misdiagnosis could prevent you from getting the chance to be cured and could ultimately cost you your life.
- Anesthesia injuries and errors: When you have surgery, your health is in the hands of more people than just your surgeon. Anesthesia errors can lead to serious injuries.
- Medical treatment errors: A healthy recovery depends on treatment. Even when doctors understand your condition, they may not put you on the best path to recovery.
- Surgical errors: Surgeons are aware of their responsibilities when they enter the operating room.
- Emergency room mistakes: Hectic and understaffed, emergency rooms are common places for all types of malpractice.
- Septic shock: If you developed an infection that was not correctly diagnosed because of medical malpractice, it could lead to septic shock, which can cause organ failure.
- Nursing errors: All health care professionals are capable of medical malpractice, and that includes nurses.
- Medication overdoses: All medication has the potential to cause serious harm if it is not used correctly. A medication overdose could be the result of doctor, nurse or pharmacist malpractice.
