Medical Malpractice Attorneys Stockton
You trust your life and your livelihood to doctors, hospitals and medical staff. When they are negligent in your care, it can drastically change your life and may even lead to the death of a loved one. Many do not know where to go to seek help. Further complicating this trying time is the complexity of Medical Malpractice, both in the medicine and specialized legal principles. The average attorney who is not skilled in these areas does not have the experience to solve the challenging issues that arise in these cases. The attorneys at Brown & Gessell have spent almost two decades representing clients in Medical Malpractice cases. Their experience in settling and trying cases is diverse and spans most areas of medicine, from labor and delivery, to orthopedics, to delay in diagnosis of cancers, to many others areas of medical care and treatment. Brown & Gessell can answer many pressing questions, such as:
- What do I need to do to protect my rights?
- What can I do to protect the accuracy and integrity of the medical records?
- How can I hold them responsible for what they have done?

- Who should I talk to (Hospital Risk Managers, Insurance Representatives, Staff or Doctors)?
- How long do I have to bring a lawsuit?
- Does a bad outcome mean they were negligent?
- Should I go back to the same doctors or hospital where the negligence occurred?
- How long will a lawsuit take?
- Who is responsible for what happened?
Take Immediate Action:
Many are reluctant to even contemplate a potential medical malpractice action. Consequently, even though they suspect negligence, they do not take steps to preserve their case. Many convince themselves that nothing is wrong. They look past clear errors in medical management, refusing to acknowledge that improper care and treatment has occurred. Never could a doctor or medical provider commit negligence and injur a patient. California law, as set forth in the Jury Instruction that is used in every medical malpractice case, defines the standard of care as the failure to "use the level of skill, knowledge, and care in diagnosis and treatment that other reasonably careful" physicians "would use in the same or similar circumstances." California Civil Jury Instruction (CACI) 501. Though most may not know what a "reasonably careful physician" standard is, they suspect some aspect of the management is not right. It is at such times that having a firm with the experience to distinguish poor medical care from negligent medical care is essential. Having a resource and experienced medical malpractice attorneys behind you each step of the way, will prevent losing valuable time and evidence. Protect your rights.
