Orange County Medical Malpractice Attorney

Orange County medical malpractice attorney Stephen D. Counts specializes in malpractice law. And that's important, because malpractice law is unique. For starters, beginning in 1975, laws have been passed that make it difficult to bring a medical malpractice suit to court. There are steps and processes that are not part of other kinds of legal cases... or even other types of personal-injury cases. At its core, the issue is that medical malpractice suits—even those that are in fact just and proper—are rarely economically viable. "Economically viable" is when the potential rewards (which the law limits) of your claim are large enough to make the significant costs worthwhile. Orange County malpractice attorney Stephen Counts wants to help you understand your rights.

Essentially, there are two kinds of damages that can be rewarded: non-economic damages and economic damages. Non-economic damages—pain, suffering, changes to life and lifestyle—are limited in this state to $250,000. Therefore, as an Orange County medical malpractice attorney, Stephen Counts knows the cases that are economically viable are those that have lead to significant economic damages.
