When a child suffers harm due to medical negligence, the effects can be devastating and long-lasting.

These cases are particularly complex and emotionally charged, as they often involve life-altering injuries that require ongoing care.

What Is Pediatric Malpractice?
Pediatric malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider delivers substandard care to a child or infant, resulting in serious injury or death. Common types of pediatric malpractice include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of infections, cancers, or chronic illnesses
- Medication errors, such as incorrect dosages or harmful drug interactions
- Birth injuries such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or brain damage
- Surgical errors or complications during or after pediatric surgery
- Failure to monitor or treat symptoms in a timely and appropriate manner
In many cases, these errors are preventable. A delay in diagnosis, a missed infection, or the wrong medication can cause permanent disabilities, developmental delays, or even fatal outcomes. Families often face enormous emotional and financial burdens as a result.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
When a child is harmed by medical negligence, the law allows families to pursue compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Costs of long-term care, therapy, and rehabilitation
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of future earnings
- Emotional distress for the child and parents
Because California law places specific limits on damages in medical malpractice cases, it is essential to work with a law firm that understands how to build a strong claim that accounts for all economic and non-economic damages.
