Distinguished San Francisco Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Bay Area lawyers helping patients injured by doctor negligence

Suffering an injury while under the care of a doctor, surgeon or other medical professional is a shocking and upsetting experience. Patients put a great deal of trust in medical professionals and when that trust is violated by negligence or carelessness, it is often deeply traumatic in addition to being painful, time-consuming and costly.

When you have suffered an injury, disfigurement, pain or other harm as a result of medical negligence, our San Francisco medical malpractice attorneys at the Law Office of Michael and Michelle Mandel are dedicated to providing the compassionate service you need and deserve. We aggressively pursue medical malpractice claims to obtain the most compensation possible for injuries, including pain, suffering, emotional distress, medical costs, lost wages and lost earning capacity.

Doctors, medical specialists, nurses, hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare providers have a duty to provide their patients with care that measures up to the standard generally accepted in the medical community. The standard of care is based on the way other members of the profession would normally act under similar circumstances. If a medical professional fails to meet the reasonable standard of care, that person is considered negligent and liable for malpractice. California malpractice statutes and case law place a cap of $250,000 on the amount of compensation you can recover for pain, suffering, inconvenience, physical impairment, disfigurement and other non-economic injuries resulting from medical negligence.
