Kaiser Malpractice & Arbitration Lawyer
The Kaiser Approach to Malpractice
Tens of thousands of people in Sacramento and throughout Northern California receive Kaiser Permanente health insurance through their employers. If you are insured by Kaiser Permanente, you should know about how Kaiser handles medical malpractice claims.
Know Your Rights
If you are injured or harmed through medical malpractice or the negligence or carelessness of a Kaiser health care provider, you cannot sue the insurance company for damages.
For more than 30 years, Kaiser has mandated that its members resolve any disputes about medical care through an arbitration procedure. This means Kaiser members do not have the right to a trial to resolve medical malpractice claims.
Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, emergency room errors, prescription errors, birth injuries, sexual assault by a medical professional and other forms of malpractice and negligence are all subject to the Kaiser arbitration process.
Attorney Noël M. Ferris represents people who have suffered harm at the hands of Kaiser doctors, nurses and other health care providers. She has successfully resolved hundreds of Kaiser malpractice arbitrations for her clients.
The Advantages of Kaiser Arbitration
Ms. Ferris believes the Kaiser arbitration process can be more effective for injured people than traditional courtroom litigation for a number of reasons.
- First, the case is heard by a single arbitrator who understands medicine and the law, and knows that doctors sometimes make mistakes.
- Second, Kaiser arbitration can resolve issues much more quickly than a jury trial.
A successful resolution to a Kaiser claim is not guaranteed. To obtain the full amount of compensation for the damages you have suffered, it is important to work with a lawyer with a record of results in Kaiser arbitration. Contact the Law Office of Noël M.
