If you have been injured as the result of a doctor's negligence or other medical errors, come to the  Law Office of David A. Asch  in Sacramento. We provide free initial consultations to help potential clients evaluate the likelihood of success in a medical malpractice claim. Contact us today to discuss your medical malpractice claims with an experienced attorney. 

In medical or hospital malpractice cases, we represent clients on such claims as the following:

• Anesthesia or surgery errors, including those committed during laparoscopic or arthroscopic surgery
  

• Mistakes in diagnosis or treatment in the emergency room
  

• Misdiagnosis or unreasonable delay in diagnosis of cancer or other serious illness
  

• Errors by physicians, pharmacists, or nursing staff in the prescription or administration of medications
  

• Infections acquired in hospitals or other clinical settings, including MSRA, VRE, pneumonia, hepatitis, or urinary tract infections
  

• Nursing home negligence or elder abuse
  

In medical malpractice cases, California has the deck stacked against the patient. Doctors and hospitals have persuaded the California Legislature to place a cap of $250,000.00 on compensation for pain and suffering, and they receive credit for any pension, disability, or social security payments that are being paid to the victim.

We know that medical malpractice claims are often difficult — so when we come to the courtroom or the negotiating table, we are absolutely prepared and come armed with your strongest arguments. In each case, we analyze and investigate prospective medical malpractice cases carefully to ensure that we can identify particular instances of doctor negligence, and that we can support the claim that the doctor's mistakes caused your injuries.  

In addition to medical malpractice litigation against negligent doctors and hospitals (including Sutter Hospitals), we serve people who have been injured as the result of an  insurance company's bad faith . We represent clients on claims against HMOs, private health insurers, and health savings administrators, such as Kaiser Permanente and Kaiser Insurance. These cases can involve denial of coverage, denial of medical treatment or tests, or refusal to provide essential medical devices or equipment. 

We also represent people who have been the victims of HIPAA privacy violations. If you have lost your job because a medical provider shared confidential healthcare information with your employer, come to our offices today.
