Puntos clave

  • Plazo general: en un caso de negligencia médica, por lo general hay tres años desde la lesión o un año desde que se descubrió, lo que ocurra primero (Código de Procedimiento Civil, §340.5).
  • Regla para el niño: la demanda del niño se presenta dentro de tres años desde el acto médico. Si el niño tenía menos de seis años, puede presentarse hasta que cumpla ocho, si ese plazo es más largo (§340.5).
  • Aviso previo: antes de demandar a un médico o a un hospital por negligencia, hay que avisarle por lo menos 90 días antes (Código de Procedimiento Civil, §364).
  • Límite de MICRA: en los casos de lesiones contra proveedores de salud presentados desde 2023, el límite de los daños no económicos es de $470,000 en 2026. Los gastos médicos y el cuidado futuro no tienen ese límite (Código Civil, §3333.2).
  • Hospital del Condado: si el parto fue en un hospital público del Condado de Los Ángeles, primero hay que presentar un reclamo por escrito ante el Condado. El plazo es de seis meses desde el hecho (Código de Gobierno, §911.2).

En el centro de Los Ángeles, en 660 S. Figueroa Street, Sky Lobby, Los Angeles, CA 90017. Las visitas a la oficina son con cita previa. Puede contactarnos 24/7 por teléfono o en línea, y le explicamos los pasos sin presión. En la página de nuestra oficina encontrará cómo llegar.

El Departamento de Servicios de Salud del Condado tiene cuatro hospitales públicos. Entre ellos están Los Angeles General Medical Center, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center y Olive View-UCLA Medical Center. Aunque sus nombres incluyan UCLA, Harbor-UCLA y Olive View-UCLA son hospitales del Condado.

Un caso contra un hospital público tiene sus reglas propias:

  • Reclamo previo: antes de demandar, hay que presentar un reclamo por escrito ante el Condado en los seis meses siguientes al hecho (Código de Gobierno, §911.2).
  • Reclamo tardío: si pasaron los seis meses, se puede pedir permiso para presentarlo a más tardar un año después de la lesión (Código de Gobierno, §911.4). Si el lesionado fue menor de edad durante esos seis meses completos, la ley dice que la entidad debe conceder el permiso (§911.6(b)(2)).
  • Si el Condado rechaza el reclamo: por lo general, hay seis meses desde el aviso de rechazo para demandar (Código de Gobierno, §945.6).

Por lo general, las mismas reglas se aplican a otros hospitales públicos, como los de un distrito de salud o los de la Universidad de California (Código de Gobierno, §811.2).

Hay que mostrar que el médico o el hospital no siguió la práctica médica aceptada y que eso le causó la lesión al bebé. Para eso:

  • Conseguimos los expedientes completos del control prenatal, del trabajo de parto y del parto.
  • Revisamos los registros del monitor fetal y las decisiones que se tomaron en la sala de partos.
  • Cuando el caso lo requiere, trabajamos con peritos en obstetricia y en neonatología.
  • Identificamos a cada posible responsable, como el obstetra, el personal de enfermería o el hospital.
  • Documentamos las necesidades médicas y de desarrollo que su hijo tendrá en el futuro.

Desde ahora ya puede empezar a recabar información:

  1. Anote las fechas, los nombres del personal y lo que le dijeron durante el parto y después.
  2. Guarde las cuentas médicas, los recibos y el calendario de terapias de su hijo.
  3. No firme documentos de la aseguradora del hospital sin revisarlos antes con un abogado.

Una familia puede reclamar dos tipos de daños:

  • Daños económicos: el costo del cuidado médico de por vida, de las terapias y del equipo especial, y la pérdida de la capacidad de su hijo de generar ingresos en el futuro.
  • Daños no económicos: el dolor y el sufrimiento del niño.

La ley MICRA limita solo los daños no económicos en los casos contra proveedores de salud (Código Civil, §3333.2):

  • En los casos de lesiones presentados desde 2023, el límite empezó en $350,000 y sube $40,000 cada 1 de enero. En 2026 es de $470,000.
  • La ley fija límites separados para los médicos, para los hospitales y para otros proveedores no relacionados con ellos. Por eso, un caso puede tener más de un límite.
  • Se aplica el límite vigente cuando se dicta la sentencia o se firma el acuerdo.

Como su hijo es menor de edad, un acuerdo sobre su reclamo necesita la aprobación del tribunal (Código de Sucesiones, §3500). Esa revisión protege el dinero del niño. Conozca más sobre los honorarios de contingencia.

¿Cómo sé si la lesión de mi bebé se debió a negligencia médica?

No toda lesión al nacer puede llevar a un caso. Por lo general, deben darse tres cosas:

  • Un error: el médico, la enfermera o el hospital no dio la atención que exige la práctica médica aceptada durante el embarazo, el parto o justo después.
  • Un daño: su bebé sufrió una lesión real, como una lesión de los nervios del hombro o un daño cerebral.
  • La causa: la lesión vino de ese error, y no de una complicación que no se podía evitar.

Para saberlo, hay que revisar los expedientes médicos con peritos. En una consulta gratis le explicamos cómo empezar.

No papeles, no problema. En California, su estatus migratorio no le impide reclamar, y en un caso de lesiones personales o muerte injusta no se puede usar como prueba (Código de Evidencia, §351.2).

Preguntas frecuentes

Nuestras preguntas más frecuentes

Respondimos las más comunes aquí. Si la suya no aparece, llámenos — estamos disponibles 24/7.

Un caso por lesión de nacimiento es, por lo general, un caso de negligencia médica. Por eso no sigue el plazo común de dos años para lesiones personales (Código de Procedimiento Civil, §335.1), sino el del §340.5, que consiste en:

  • La demanda del niño: tres años desde el acto médico. Si el niño tenía menos de seis años, el plazo llega hasta que cumpla ocho, cuando eso le da más tiempo.
  • Si la madre también sufrió una lesión en el parto: su propio reclamo sigue la regla de los adultos. Es un año desde que descubrió la lesión, o debió descubrirla, sin pasar de tres años desde la lesión.
  • Excepciones al límite de tres años: la ley lo extiende en casos de fraude, de ocultamiento intencional o de un objeto extraño que se dejó en el cuerpo.
  • Hospital público: el reclamo por escrito vence a los seis meses (Código de Gobierno, §911.2).

Las fechas dependen de los hechos de cada familia. Revise las suyas cuanto antes, porque un plazo vencido puede acabar con su caso.

Algunas lesiones de nacimiento son temporales y otras duran toda la vida. Entre las que revisamos con más frecuencia están:

  • Lesión del plexo braquial (parálisis de Erb): el plexo braquial es un grupo de nervios alrededor del hombro. Según MedlinePlus, si esos nervios se dañan, el bebé puede perder movimiento o fuerza en el brazo. Puede ocurrir en un parto difícil.
  • Encefalopatía hipóxico-isquémica: es un daño cerebral por falta de oxígeno. Vea más sobre las lesiones cerebrales.
  • Parálisis cerebral: es un grupo de trastornos que afectan el movimiento, el aprendizaje y otras funciones. Según MedlinePlus, la mayoría de los problemas que la causan ocurren mientras el bebé crece en el útero. Pero también puede deberse a una lesión del cerebro durante el parto.
  • Fracturas y retrasos en el desarrollo causados por un trauma en el parto.

Entre los errores que pueden causar estas lesiones están:

  • El mal uso del fórceps o de la ventosa.
  • No responder a tiempo al sufrimiento fetal.
  • Una cesárea que se retrasó o que no se hizo.
  • Errores con medicamentos.

Vea también nuestra página de abogados de lesiones de nacimiento en California.

Pídalos por escrito al hospital y a cada médico. Como madre o padre de un menor, usted puede pedir también los expedientes de su bebé. Pida los dos: el de la madre, con el control prenatal, el trabajo de parto y el monitor fetal, y el del bebé.

La ley de California fija plazos para responder (Código de Salud y Seguridad, §123110):

  • Dejarle ver los expedientes dentro de cinco días hábiles.
  • Darle copias dentro de 15 días.

La ley federal también le da derecho a sus expedientes, y el proveedor debe responder, por lo general, dentro de 30 días (45 C.F.R. §164.524). Con su autorización por escrito, nosotros podemos pedirlos por usted antes de presentar una demanda (Código de Evidencia, §1158). Así revisamos el expediente completo, no solo un resumen.

Sí. Hay que avisarle al proveedor de salud por lo menos 90 días antes de demandarlo por negligencia (Código de Procedimiento Civil, §364). La ley no exige un formulario especial. El aviso debe explicar en qué se basa el reclamo y qué tipo de pérdidas sufrió la familia.

Si el aviso se entrega en los últimos 90 días del plazo para demandar, ese plazo se extiende 90 días desde la entrega. Calcular bien estas fechas es parte de nuestro trabajo desde el principio.

Nada por adelantado. Wilshire Law Firm trabaja con base en honorarios de contingencia, así que no hay honorarios a menos que usted reciba pago. Las evaluaciones de casos son gratuitas y están disponibles 24/7.
