Understanding Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care that a reasonably competent professional would provide under similar circumstances. When that failure causes harm, patients and their families have the right to seek accountability and financial recovery.

These cases are among the most complex areas of personal injury law. They require detailed analysis of medical records, expert testimony, and a clear understanding of how negligence occurred. At McIntosh Law Co., we combine legal skill with medical insight to help our clients uncover the truth and obtain the justice they deserve.

Common Examples

  • • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis

FAQs

The time limit depends on your case type. In California, most civil matters, including probate-related claims, have specific statutes of limitation — often one to four years. It’s best to consult an attorney immediately to preserve your rights.

As soon as you suspect a dispute or believe your rights may be affected. Early involvement allows your lawyer to gather evidence, review deadlines, and protect your interests before they’re compromised.
