How Do Medical Malpractice Cases Against Cedars-Sinai Work?

The process begins with a thorough review of your medical records to determine whether the care you received fell below the accepted standard. Proving this almost always requires expert testimony from a qualified medical professional in the relevant specialty. However, Dr. Fagel’s background as a physician gives our firm the ability to begin this evaluation in-house before bringing in additional experts.

From there, these cases generally move through the following stages:

  • Pre-litigation notice: California law requires you to serve the hospital with a written notice of intent to sue at least 90 days before you file the lawsuit. This gives both sides an opportunity to evaluate the case before formal proceedings begin.
  • Filing the lawsuit: If your case doesn’t resolve during the notice period, we will file a formal complaint in court against the responsible healthcare providers.
  • Discovery: Both sides exchange evidence and take depositions. Many malpractice cases settle during this phase once the strength of the evidence becomes clear.
  • Trial: Hospitals like Cedars-Sinai don’t always settle willingly. If a fair offer doesn’t come, we will present your case to a jury for a verdict.

California’s statute of limitations gives you one year from the date you discovered the injury, or three years from the date it occurred, whichever comes first. Missing this deadline will almost certainly end your case, so reaching out to a lawyer as soon as you can is best.
