Medical Malpractice
Burbank Medical Malpractice Lawyer Holding Negligent Healthcare Providers and Hospitals AccountableIf you or a loved one has suffered due to a doctor's negligence, you need a dedicated Burbank medical malpractice lawyer to fight for your rights against powerful hospitals and their insurance companies.
A negative medical outcome does not automatically mean malpractice occurred. To prove medical malpractice, we must show that a healthcare professional (like a doctor, nurse, or hospital) violated the "standard of care." This means they failed to act as a reasonably competent medical professional would have under similar circumstances, and that specific failure directly caused your injury or worsened your condition.
Because medicine is incredibly complex, distinguishing between a known surgical risk and actual medical negligence is difficult. You need an experienced legal team to investigate. At the Law Office of Egishe Avetisian, we consult with top medical experts to review your medical records, identify errors, and build a strong case. If you suspect something went wrong during your treatment in Burbank or the greater Los Angeles area, contact us immediately for a free evaluation.
Medical malpractice can occur in any healthcare setting, from hospitals and emergency rooms to private clinics and pharmacies. The most common cases we see include:
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to recognize a serious condition like cancer, heart attack, or stroke in time.
Surgical Errors: Operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside a patient, or causing preventable nerve damage.
Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong drug, the wrong dosage, or ignoring dangerous drug interactions.
Birth Injuries: Negligence during labor and delivery that results in lifelong conditions for the baby, such as cerebral palsy or Erb's palsy.
No. Hospitals and medical facilities have aggressive legal and risk management teams dedicated to protecting their reputations and their bottom lines. They may act sympathetic, but their goal is to get you to make statements that reduce their liability. Direct all communications to our office. We protect your rights and ensure nothing is lost in translation, fluently handling communications in English, Russian, and Armenian (Հայերեն).
The statute of limitations for medical malpractice in California is extremely strict. Generally, you have one year from the date you discovered (or reasonably should have discovered) the injury, or three years from the date the injury occurred—whichever comes first. There are exceptions, but waiting too long can permanently destroy your right to compensation. It is critical to contact a lawyer as soon as you suspect negligence.
Going up against well-funded medical institutions and their insurance companies requires significant resources, but you do not have to pay out of pocket to fight back. We represent medical malpractice victims on a strict "No Win, No Fee" contingency basis. You pay absolutely zero upfront costs for us to investigate and litigate your case. We only get paid when we secure a financial recovery for you, allowing you to focus completely on your health and family.

Navigating the aftermath of an accident is overwhelming. Whether you are dealing with a minor injury or a life-altering event, the right legal guidance is the turning point in your recovery journey. At Law office of Egishe Avetisian, we specialize in turning the tide for our clients by securing the justice and compensation they deserve.
Insurance adjusters often call unrepresented victims in Glendale or Burbank shortly after an accident, offering a quick cash settlement. While this may seem helpful, these "lowball" offers are designed to close your case for pennies on the dollar before you even realize the full extent of your injuries.
Without a lawyer, you are often subjected to the "3 D's": Delaying your claim until you are financially desperate, Denying liability even when their driver is at fault, and Defending their bottom line at your expense. They count on your lack of legal leverage to avoid paying what is rightfully yours.
Adjusters may sound friendly, but they are trained to ask leading questions that trick you into admitting fault. In Los Angeles, these recorded statements are used later to reduce your compensation. Our office protects you by handling all communications in English, Russian, or Armenian, ensuring your words are never twisted.
We believe everyone deserves access to high-quality legal representation. Our Contingency Fee Policy (often called "No Win, No Fee") is designed to minimize your financial risk: Zero Upfront Costs: You don’t pay a dime out of pocket to start your case. Invested in Your Success: We only get paid if we win your case. This ensures we work diligently to maximize your recovery. Focus on Healing: Leave the legal complexities to us while you focus on your physical and emotional recovery.
For example, if you've been involved in a motorcycle accident, your lawyer will investigate the circumstances thoroughly. They will gather evidence, such as traffic camera footage or eyewitness accounts, to establish fault. This level of detail can be crucial in securing a favorable settlement or winning a court case.
