Helping You Stand Up to the Insurance Company
If you receive medical care from Kaiser Permanente, Kaiser Hospitals, or the Permanente Medical Group, and have any reason to believe you may have been injured as a result of error or a failure to act in the course of that care, it is important that you understand the following:
- You are almost certainly bound by a Kaiser arbitration agreement. This means that your case will not be heard by a court or a jury. Instead, a retired judge selected by your attorney and Kaiser will decide procedural matters and ultimately conduct a private trial (arbitration).
- Timing is extremely important. You should consult a lawyer as soon as you have reason to believe you have suffered an injury related to your medical care. A delay may cause your claim to be barred.
- Arbitration if not less formal or legalistic. Although arbitration may sound like a less formal or even cooperative form of dispute resolution, in fact, Kaiser's system of arbitration adds all of the complexities of the California Code of Civil Procedure and the California Rules of Evidence to a unique contractual system of Kaiser's. The firm's experience is that Kaiser fights every claim and will take advantage of a victim's lack of legal knowledge.
- You will need experts. Generally, medical malpractice claims require one, and often more than one, expert witness to prove malpractice and to establish the amount and costs of damages.
Kaiser will bring determined opposition to many legitimate medical malpractice insurance claims. If the company has opposed your claim, the Law Office of Peter H. Liederman can help you fight back.
