Catastrophic Medical Malpractice

Agoura Hills Catastrophic Medical Malpractice Attorney

Helping Clients Get Justice in Los Angeles

You don’t expect to suffer a serious injury when you check into a hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of patients every year suffer preventable injuries when they are under treatment in a hospital.

If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury in a hospital as a result of the negligence of medical personnel, talk to a Los Angeles medical malpractice lawyer at Effres & Effres to discuss filing a claim for compensation.

Medical Malpractice Statistics

As many as 440,000 patients die every year because of medical malpractice. The American Medical Association estimates that medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the United States.

Common Causes of Medical Malpractice

There are several ways in which hospital negligence by doctors, nurses, technicians and other hospital personnel can contribute to injury.

They include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Failure to identify and protect nerves and organs during surgery
  • Failure to diagnose an illness in time
  • Failure to order diagnostic or lab tests in time
  • Failure to treat in a timely manner
  • Incorrect treatments
  • Medication prescription errors
  • Medication administration errors
  • Operation of the wrong body part
  • Failure to use proper hand hygiene practices
  • Failure to use proper catheter handling practices
  • Inadequate prevention of bed sores
  • Inadequate equipment sterilization
  • Incorrect use of radiation equipment

Pursuing Negligent Individuals

All of these factors can contribute to serious injury and even death. The kinds of injuries that are the result of medical negligence can be catastrophic, and can cause severe pain and trauma. For instance, failure to handle catheters properly in an ICU can contribute to potentially deadly central line-associated bloodstream infections.

    Our Clients' Success Stories

    • "Justice was done."
      Dear Mr. Effres, I was the juror that took your card and assured you I’d call, as time is such a premium in our lives, dropping you a line is much easier. Thank you for the offer of our suggestions and/or comments. What impressed me the most and what seemed the be a determining factor was the diligence in which you presented the evidence, your depth of conviction for Maria’s case was deeply felt. Your calmness in dealing with the judge with the study in the strength of the human character! The only suggestion I would make (and this is coming from a color consultant point of view) would be to wear dark suits, white shirt and a striking tie (LOVE THE SCALE OF JUSTICE TIE), other than that – change nothing. Please pass on my best wishes to Maria even though the money could not begin to suffice for her injury the quality of her life may be enhanced, they are a beautiful family and were represented by a compassionate, thorough, competent lawyer. Justice was done. God bless you. by K. R.

    • "I would definitely recommend this firm."
      I would definitely recommend this firm, after everything they have done for me I can’t describe in words, the person that was responsible for my serious Injuries was on suspended license and no insurance but they still stood by my side and fight for me, this firm is about Justice. They were always there when I need anything, they came to the hospital, they even help me go to the court and my favorite I was able to text them when I had a question very convenient. Thanks alot to Justin Effres for always responding to all my questions and never giving up on my case.

      Dear Steve, Rene, Daisy & Team, We received your check and wanted to thank you for your hard work on our behalf. The money enabled us to pay off the replacement car and other bills, so it was a great help. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Our best by D & G

    • "Thanks to you, you made a bad topsy-turvy affair a very easy ordeal."
      Dear Mr. Effres, We just once again wanted to thank you so very much, for your fine (I should say “great”) handling of Anne’s case. We have never had to “go to court,” or sue anyone in the past and really had no idea where to start with any of the details. Thanks to you, you made a bad topsy-turvy affair a very easy ordeal on our behalf. And my husband and I really appreciate the time and effort you gave the case. I hope we never have to do anything like this again, but should something like this happen you can be sure of hearing from us again – Thank you very, very much. With warmest regards
      - F & D
