Are Medical Experts Required for Every Malpractice Case?

Yes, Victorville, California requires medical experts for basically all medical malpractice cases. The medical issues involved are typically too complex for a jury to understand without testimony and explanations from a healthcare expert.

Experts testify to a reasonable degree of medical probability that the healthcare provider’s actions or inactions fell below this standard of care and directly caused injury. Without expert testimony, a medical malpractice claim can be dismissed by the court.

Why Are Medical Experts Necessary for Medical Malpractice Cases?

Medical experts can provide objective opinions that strengthen your medical malpractice claim and support your claimed damages value. A medical expert is necessary to explain the standard of care required by your healthcare provider and to provide a reliable opinion of how they violated this standard.

They can review medical records, review provided care, and offer expert opinions to explain to a judge or jury whether negligence occurred. An attorney coordinates with medical experts to support medical negligence claims.

Are There Deadlines for Filing a Medical Malpractice Claim in Victorville, California?

Yes, across California, the deadline to file a claim for medical malpractice is usually one year after you first discovered your injury or three years from the date the malpractice potentially occurred, whichever happens first. If you miss the deadline, the court typically dismisses your case, and you’re barred from recovering financially. There are nuances to this rule, which is why it’s worth meeting with an attorney who can also make sure you file on time.
