Experienced Bay Area Medical Malpractice Attorneys
Committed to Maximizing Your Financial Recovery Following Serious Injury
Various studies report the incidence of medical malpractice in the US at over 100,000 occurrences annually. At The Law Office of Ian Zimmerman we believe that figure is too high, and we have done something about it. We have represented dozens of people injured by medical malpractice and people who have lost loved ones at the hands of negligent health care providers.
- Pain and suffering
- Out-of-pocket and future medical expenses
- Past and future wage loss
- Rehabilitation and psychological costs, including future costs
Our two-member attorney team has a combined 50 years of experience in handling injury claims. A recent case illustrates our ability to help you following medical malpractice.
Our clients’ loved one suffered brain death when a doctor placed a needed breathing tube in her stomach rather than her lungs. Worse, the error went undetected for 16 minutes.
We advocated for our clients vigorously and eventually brought the case to court. In a jury verdict, we obtained $450,000 in damages for the victim’s 11-year-old daughter, for emotional distress and the loss of her mother. We also obtained a $70,000 settlement from an additional party, for a total of $520,000.
If you have experienced a medical malpractice incident:
- Contact us immediately
- Obtain all medical records as quickly as possible, and save all records currently in your possession, including prescriptions, emergency room records and insurance records
- Never speak to a doctor’s or hospital’s insurance company
We can investigate and prepare your case and work with a doctor who will:
- Review your case
- Explain and document the exact nature of the error(s) committed
- Testify on your behalf at depositions and/ or trial
