 Medical Malpractice is the act in which a doctor, surgeon, or other licensed healthcare provider acts negligently, causing injury or death in a patient. Patients expect a timely diagnosis of a medical problem along with proper treatment. In some cases a delay in diagnosis may have serious consequences to the patient and may affect their quality of life.
At Catalano & Catalano we represent clients throughout California who have suffered serious injuries or the death of loved ones due to medical malpractice.
Patients who suffer catastrophic injuries due to medical malpractice are often told that their injuries are part of the risk involved in their medical treatment.

If you suspect you have been the victim of medical negligence or have lost a loved one due to medical negligence, it is imperative that you contact a California medical malpractice attorney immediately.
