San Bernardino’s Leading Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice Attorney
San Bernardino’s Leading Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice Attorney







When you need legal representation for a medical malpractice claim, it is essential to find a medical malpractice attorney with the skill, resources, and experience to navigate your case successfully. Medical malpractice lawsuits may fall under the purview of personal injury law, but they are much more complex than typical personal injury claims concerning car accidents and premises liability. Success in your medical malpractice lawsuit will hinge on your attorney’s ability to prove the defendant’s failure to meet the appropriate standard of care for your condition. At Kampf, Schiavone & Associates in San Bernardino, our lawyers have extensive combined experience in achieving justice for victims of medical negligence.
Our attorneys have won more than $250 million in verdicts and settlements for clients throughout the region. This track record of success has been built with in-depth investigation of what happened to patients during their hospital stay or emergency room visit, persuasive negotiations with hospital and clinic insurers, and aggressive litigation techniques that resonate with judges and juries alike.
