San Francisco Bay Area Attorneys: Hospital Liability

Hospitals are a unique type of business. Their business is to care for people, including senior citizens with long-term chronic health issues. Unfortunately, as businesses, they also have to look after their bottom lines. When they forsake the first duty for the latter, it can cause the serious personal injury, illness or wrongful death of elderly patients. The Law Offices of Suizi Lin will work to see that they are held accountable when this happens.

We offer free initial interviews in cases involving a hospital's improper treatment or denial of care to elderly patients. E-mail us or call us at (510) 689-1988.

At the Law Offices of Suizi Lin, our lawyers have been helping victims of wrongdoing for more than 55 years. We are champions for the rights of senior citizens in Hayward, the entire San Francisco Bay Area and throughout northern California.

All too often, HMOs and insurance companies put pressure on hospitals, skilled nursing facilities (SNF) and similar medical facilities. They offer financial incentives to facilities for minimizing the medical services provided. Essentially, decisions about the health of an elderly person, even life-or-death decisions, end up in the hands of accounting departments. We do not believe this is right. Our hospital liability team will work to hold facilities accountable for this negligence.

Many hospital liability cases involve elderly people with chronic diseases that are very costly to treat. Interventional procedures, therapy and medication that can add life and comfort are expensive. Instead of providing them, hospitals may choose instead to cut costs. They may withhold costly medication in a failure to manage pain from a long-term illness that a patient suffers from. O they may simply deny treatment entirely.

Our lawyers are here to stand up for the rights of seniors. We handle all hospital liability cases on a contingency basis, meaning we accept no payment unless we recover money for you.
