We trust doctors and other medical providers to offer an acceptable level of care, but what happens when a physician is negligent? Patients who receive treatment that falls below the accepted standard of care often suffer serious injuries, major health complications, or even fatal consequences. At Bostwick & Associates, we believe that negligent medical providers should be held accountable. Our physician malpractice attorneys have extensive experience handling complex claims involving substandard medical care, leading to severe injuries and deaths. We carefully review the details of each case to identify what happened, how it occurred, and who is responsible. We aim to maximize our clients' recoveries so that they can more easily navigate the long road to healing. If you or your loved one suffered due to a physician's failure to provide an acceptable level of medical care, we can help.

California$3,000,000 Medical Malpractice, Birth Injury, Brain Injury
Our birth injury lawyers in San Francisco tried a case involving shoulder dystocia resulting in brain injury.
This is believed to be the largest recovery for a medical malpractice case in this Northern California county. Our client was giving birth to an unusually large baby and the doctors failed to properly estimate the size of the baby prior to labor. After the baby's head was delivered, the rest of the body couldn’t pass through the mother’s pelvis. The doctors then pushed the head back through the mother's pelvis and delivered it by c-section. This resulted in the baby sustaining a severe brain injury and requiring 24/7 attendant care for life.
We represented a family in Hawaii whose child suffered brain damage during birth.The case was against the United States for a birth injury which resulted from the government doctor's failure to promptly deliver the baby when the labor failed to progress, and fetal monitoring revealed the baby was in trouble. The injured young boy is now able to walk and communicate, but will live with disabilities that require constant supervision for the rest of his life. The settlement is the largest pretrial settlement against the USA in this Western state’s history.
