Santa Rosa, CA Medical Malpractice FAQs

  • What is the non-emergency contact number for the local police station in Santa Rosa, California?

    The Santa Rosa Police responds to routine matters at 707-528-5222.

  • Where can I get a copy of police reports for incidents related to my case in Santa Rosa, California?

    For a police report copy in Santa Rosa, the Records Bureau is reachable at 707-543-3600, ext. 3.

  • What are the common surgical errors seen by medical malpractice lawyers in Santa Rosa?

    Medical malpractice lawyers in Santa Rosa commonly see surgical errors like the removal of the wrong organ or limb at the operating table. Also, losses have been attributed to the surgeon's hand slipping during the procedure. In addition, tools have been left inside the body because of insufficient checks to see if the operating area is clear.

  • Can a doctor in Santa Rosa claim that the patient was also negligent in concealing vital information before a botched surgery?

    As a defense, a doctor in Santa Rosa can claim that the patient was also negligent before surgery by concealing vital information. However, since the state follows pure comparative fault principles, this will not free the surgeon of a duty to pay damages. It will just lead to a proportional reduction in dues.

  • What are the applicable caps to damages in medical malpractice cases filed in Santa Rosa?

    For medical malpractice cases filed in Santa Rosa, there are no hard caps imposed on economic damages other than what the plaintiff's evidence can prove. Do note that non-economic restitution is limited by law, and it is currently at $350,000, to be raised at a rate of $40,000 per year until 2034.

  • What is the longest time a person can wait in Santa Rosa before filing a medical malpractice claim?

    The longest time a person in Santa Rosa can wait before filing a medical malpractice claim is generally three years from the infraction, though the case must also be filed within a year when the injury was found. If the cause of action is a foreign action left within the body, one still has to file a year from discovery, but there is no three-year cap.

  • Should a claimant refrain from getting a medical malpractice lawyer in Santa Rosa if costs are too high?

    A claimant should not refrain from getting a medical malpractice lawyer in Santa Rosa if costs are too high. The opposing party will probably have an attorney and make the contest lopsided. It is wiser to get a legal counsel who will accept fees on a contingency basis because nothing is due until the client wins.
