What is medical malpractice?
Unfavorable medical results do not necessarily indicate medical malpractice. A successful claim requires clear evidence of negligence or omission on the part of a doctor or healthcare institution. Medical malpractice cases can be difficult to prove. A lawyer with experience in medical malpractice can explain the limits of med mal coverage in California and the likelihood of a successful result from your claim.
If you are a member of Kaiser, your health plan provides for mandatory, binding arbitration of disputes involving medical mismanagement. Participants in the Kaiser system waive their right to a jury trial. Specific rules apply to commencing an arbitration proceeding. Our office has handled numerous Kaiser arbitrations and we are well-equipped to guide you through the process.
At the Law Offices of Michael and Michelle Mandel, we handle medical malpractice claims involving:
- Birth injuries

No legal fees unless we win

Additionally, our firm advances case and litigation costs, which are not reimbursable unless there is a monetary recovery. When we win, our legal services are paid as an agreed upon percentage of the settlement.
California law currently limits what an individual can recover fro pain and suffering damages at $250,000. For more information regarding the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act and your rights to sue a healthcare provider, call us.
