The Institute of Medicine has reported that as many as 98,000 people die each year in American hospitals due to medical mistakes. In fact, medical malpractice injuries are the eighth ranking cause of death in America.

A medical malpractice claim is among the most complicated of legal actions. A medical malpractice attorney must not only possess knowledge and experience in handling personal injury cases in court, he must also have a solid understanding of medical terminology, medical science, medical research and how health care is practiced.

As an experienced Los Angeles Medical Malpractice Attorney, I provide aggressive representation for victims of medical malpractice in Southern California, and throughout the state. I am committed to helping people who have legitimate and substantial claims of medical malpractice, including claims for:

• Medical Malpractice
• Personal Injury
• Medical Products Law
• Cerebral Palsy
• Misdiagnosis
• Lung Cancer
• Wrongful Death
• Defective Drugs or Products  
• Anesthetic Errors
• Wrong Treatment
• Birth Injuries
• Failure to Diagnosis
• Breast Cancer
• Medication Errors
• Nursing Home Abuse
• Surgical Errors
• Adverse Drug Reactions

I began my legal practice in Hawaii in 1963 with the firm of Carlsmith Ball, LLP. In 1967 I moved to Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson in New York. My present firm was established in 1993.

If you or someone you know has been injured by medical malpractice, you benefit by hiring a lawyer who has experience in medical malpractice cases. Trained eyes can recognize malpractice that others will miss. As a skilled Los Angeles Medical Malpractice Attorney, I have spotted medical malpractice in cases that other attorneys have reviewed and turned away.

I regularly consult with Dr. Vaughn Eric Dobalian on medical malpractice cases for symptomology, etiology and diagnostics in the physiology and prognosis of client's medical complaints. Dr. Dobalian is Board Certified in Family Practice, and is a Fellow of the American Board of Hospital Physicians, a Diplomate, of the American Board of Hospital Physicians, and a Diplomate of the American College of Ethical Physicians.

He was a Harvard Medical School Surgical Resident and attended Vanderbilt Medical School. He is a graduate physicist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with Masters of Science and Bachelor of Science degrees. He was Associate Editor of the Brooklyn Law Review with Dean's Academic Achievement Scholarships. He was Medical Examiner, Jackson County, Tennessee, Investigating Homicides and Directing Coroner and Tennessee Bureau of Investigations Medical Related Criminal Matters.
