Medical Malpractice Attorney Dr. Bruce Fagel

Dr. Fagel is an attorney and physician who represents plaintiffs in medical malpractice cases against doctors and hospitals on behalf of injured patients. His practice focuses on complex medical malpractice cases resulting in catastrophic injuries caused by doctor or hospital negligence, such as birth injury, brain damage, induced hypertension, wrongful death, cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, nursing home negligence, misdiagnosis of cancer and paraplegia.

Dr. Fagel has obtained over $1 billion in verdicts and settlements for his clients, including the largest medical malpractice award in the history of California – a $460 million jury verdict. Due to his continued dedication and success, Dr. Fagel has been nominated eight times by the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles for their prestigious Trial Lawyer of the Year award and is honored as a California Super Lawyer. In addition, Dr. Fagel’s legal strategies and achievements have been featured in various journals, magazines and newspapers, such as the National Law Journal, Medical Economics, USA Today and the Los Angeles Times. Many news programs have also drawn upon Dr. Fagel’s expertise, as he has appeared on NBC, Fox, KTLA and ABC television programs, respectively.

Dr. Fagel graduated from the University Of Illinois Medical College Of Medicine, M.D., 1972. He spent ten years as an Emergency Room doctor before earning his law degree at Whittier College School of Law (Los Angeles, CA, J.D., 1982). His unique background and experience makes him a formidable opponent. Many of our cases settle early because the doctors, hospitals, nursing homes and their insurance companies do not wish to go to trial against such an experienced and successful attorney.

Dr. Fagel is well known by Kaiser Hospitals as a determined and relentless adversary. He has successfully prosecuted numerous medical malpractice cases against Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, the largest health care provider in both Northern and Southern California. Although Kaiser requires their members to participate in binding arbitration of all malpractice claims, our firm has obtained significant arbitration awards and settlements against Kaiser.

Dr. Fagel helps victims in California and Nevada and represents clients throughout the United States through representation with local counsel. Call 1-800-541-9376 today to learn how Dr. Fagel can help you and your family.
