Riverside Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Malpractice Attorney Dr. Bruce G. Fagel

Medical professionals of any kind – doctors, nurses, surgeons, dentists, and pharmacists, among others – have an obligation to provide a level of medical care at or above the current accepted standards. Unfortunately, a number of issues may compromise the standard level of a patient's care. An overworked doctor, an exhausted nurse, an inexperienced surgeon or a hospital that does not provide adequate training to its employees may all lead to medical malpractice and/or negligence and can cause serious injury to a patient.

If you or someone you know has been injured due to medical malpractice, you have the right to consult an attorney and take legal action. Riverside medical malpractice attorney Dr. Bruce Fagel and his team of experienced attorneys handle all types of malpractice claims throughout Riverside County, including:

Riverside Medical Malpractice Law

In Riverside, the defendant (doctor, hospital, etc.) in a medical malpractice case may seek to reduce the damages that a plaintiff (the patient or patient’s family) can recover because the plaintiff may have received compensation from other sources, such as his or her own insurance company.  Riverside medical malpractice claims must be filed within one year of the date that the negligent or wrongful act occurred, or within one year of the date that the injury was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered by the patient.
