HURT BY KAISER?
Kaiser Permanente does great things for our community, providing affordable health care to millions of Californians. However, many of the people who rely on Kaiser to keep them healthy are unaware of a key part of the contract they signed. If you are a Kaiser member who has been harmed by the negligent actions of their health care professional(s), you cannot sue them for medical malpractice in civil court. Within the lengthy packet of legal documents that one has to sign to receive health care from Kaiser Permanente is an agreement stating that you effectively give up your right to file a medical malpractice suit against any Kaiser doctor, hospital, medical facility, or staff. If you signed the documents, that agreement is binding whether you took the time to read it or not. Normally, malpractice suits provide an avenue for victims of a medical provider’s negligence to be reimbursed for the harm they’ve endured. When doctors are inattentive or hospitals cut corners to save money, the results can be disastrous, causing patients preventable pain and suffering that can impact them for the rest of their lives. Without this avenue to hold Kaiser Permanente providers accountable in the event of negligence, many feel like powerless victims. However, there is a path to remedy: arbitration. Instead of going to court, Kaiser utilizes an arbitration system. This independent court uses special judges, called arbitrators, who are approved by the Kaiser Family Foundation. Needless to say, as a plaintiff, you face an uphill battle in these cases, highlighting the need to have an expert trial lawyer at your side. Mr. Elliott N. Kanter has 30-plus years of experience as an attorney. Please fill out the confidential form on our website or call our office today at (619) 231-1883 for a free consultation.
