San Diego Kaiser Malpractice Attorney

When do you need an experienced Kaiser malpractice lawyer?

Kaiser Permanente does great things—it provides affordable healthcare to millions of people in California. In fact, it is the largest health maintenance organization (HMO) in California, providing coverage to approximately one out every four California residents. Chances are, you might be one of those people who trusts Kaiser with your health. But sometimes, Kaiser makes decisions based on financial concerns rather than a concern for your health. This sometimes has dangerous or even lethal consequences. You need a lawyer who can stand up for your rights and who is experienced in dealing with the Kaiser Permanente mediation process.

With Kaiser, your only option is arbitration.

If something does go wrong in your medical care at Kaiser, you don’t have the option to file a lawsuit. Your only course of action is to resort to the Kaiser medical malpractice arbitration system. When you joined Kaiser, you effectively gave up your right to file a medical malpractice against any Kaiser doctor, hospital, medical facility, or staff. (Yes, this is located in the thick newcomer’s book you received when you joined. You read it, right?) However, you probably only became aware of this when you considered filing a medical malpractice claim.

How the Kaiser medical malpractice arbitration system works.

Did you know that Kaiser members are prohibited from filing a lawsuit in civil court?

Instead of going to court, Kaiser utilizes an arbitration system. First of all, the attorney for Kaiser and the attorney for the plaintiff are given a list of arbitrators to choose from. They are supposed to be impartial, although you do have to consider that the arbitrators are approved by the Kaiser Family Foundation. Kaiser likes this system because traditionally, arbitrators award smaller settlements. But most importantly, once a verdict is made, there are no appeals.
