Kaiser Permanente Paralysis Lawyers

Paralysis is a life altering disability that is almost always permanent. Paralysis can occur as a result of surgery near the spinal cord, as well as the failure to act on signs and symptoms of cord compression due to cervical or lumbar disc disease, tumor or other lesions. When a physician makes an error in surgery, fails to recognize a problem, is not adequately trained or experienced, or does not explain all alternative options to a patient, medical negligence may have occurred.

As a Kaiser Permanente HMO member, your rights to file medical claims against Kaiser Permanente are limited. Since 1978, all Kaiser Permanente HMO group policies have included a provision mandating use of a mandatory private arbitration procedure for all medical claims against Kaiser Permanente. These complex proceedings often result in the denial of medical claims regardless of the negligence, carelessness or malpractice of the health care provider.

The lawyers at Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger,  in San Francisco, California, have successfully represented Kaiser Permanente HMO members since 1978. They know the Kaiser Permanente arbitration system and can ensure that your rights are protected.
