FAQs About Medical Malpractice in Lakewood

How long do I have to file a malpractice claim in California?
You generally have one year from discovering the injury or three years from the actual date of injury—whichever comes first.

Can I still sue if I signed a consent form?
Yes. A signed consent form does not excuse negligent care or errors that fall below the accepted standard of practice.

Can I file against a hospital, or just the doctor?
You may be able to sue both. Liability often extends to nurses, anesthesiologists, and the hospital or clinic itself.

How is malpractice proven?
We must show the provider failed to meet accepted medical standards and that this failure directly caused your injury. This often requires expert witness testimony and detailed medical analysis.

How much does it cost to hire Gammill Law?
There is no upfront cost. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you only pay if we recover compensation for you.
