Firm Overview

When you or a loved one has been injured due to medical malpractice, choosing the right medical malpractice law firm is critically important to the success of your legal case. At the San Jose law firm of Corsiglia McMahon & Allard, L.L.P., we have the skills, experiences and resources to effectively handle your case and obtain the best possible result. Our attorneys understand the stakes involved in medical malpractice cases, and we are dedicated to protecting our clients’ rights and achieving just compensation.

The California Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (“MICRA”) has made the pursuit of medical malpractice compensation difficult in this state. Because of MICRA, non-economic damages (i.e. pain and suffering) are capped and attorneys’ fees are limited among other things. Consequently it can be prohibitively expensive for some law firms to try a medical malpractice cases due to the high cost of hiring medical experts, and as a result injured patients are often at a disadvantage against hospitals and insurance companies.

Even in the difficult medical malpractice climate in California, however, our firm is dedicated to fighting for the rights of those who have been injured by medical negligence. We carefully evaluate the current and future needs of our clients and aggressively pursue maximum compensation in every case we take. We have successfully handled cases involving a wide range of specialties including:

• Obstetrics and Gynecology
• Cardiology
• Neurology
• Oncology
• Orthopedics
• Emergency Room Care
• Radiology

We are also experienced in handling cases involving defective medical devices as well as pharmaceutical errors. Our attorneys are experienced in representing clients who are Kaiser Health Plan members and in effectively securing compensation through the Kaiser arbitration system.

Medical malpractice claims can result in significant economic damages such as medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost earnings, and long-term care. Many of the financial losses suffered after a serious injury or wrongful death are yet to incur, and calculations of these losses are based on future projections. We work with financial experts to fully quantify all damages and ensure you obtain the greatest possible compensation for your injury.
