Medical Malpractice is medical negligence where an injury results from sub-standard care on the part of a doctor or other medical health care provider. The test is whether the medical care provided fell within the accepted practices in the community. A bad medical result or complication does not constitute malpractice if the health care provider's care fell within under the appropriate standard of care. Under California Law, monetary damages for pain and suffering are capped at $250,000 for a medical malpractice case. However, if it can be proven that the medical care provider performed a substantially different procedure than what the patient consented to, such as amputating the wrong leg, that would be considered a medical battery for which the damage cap does not apply. The lawyers at Adams & Corzine are very knowledgeable regarding medical issues and have been involved in numerous cases representing both the injured patient and the defendant doctor or hospital.
