As a parent or guardian, you believe that you will be the first to go. There is no other suggestion. Yours expect your children and grandchildren to outlive you. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Here’s a tragic scenario that sounds really familiar and close to a real case: You are a working mother with a baby. You have…
Sometimes it’s not your fault. You were driving, but you didn’t know the other car was coming. Sometimes it is the fault of someone else. Sometimes the accident is fatal and in those times a loss of life is certainly a probability. Here at Licata & Yeremenko, A Professional Law Corporation in CA, we understand what it is like to…
There are at least three major hospitals in California. Being admitted to a hospital can be a very scary experience. These experiences can lead to surgeries, big, small, invasive or superficial, and sometimes life-altering. Whether we are a patient or a loved one of a patient, we hold doctors to a higher standard. We do this because we know what…
When you or a loved one enters a hospital in need of help, it is assumed that the plan of action will work and you will leave with a good bill of health, or at least with the tools necessary for good health.

When we seek these services we understand that we are paying for their…
When we enter hospitals we have this assumption that the doctor and their staff know best, and we should. Doctors have to go through such rigorous training that they do know more than most. Doctors carry the responsibility and burden of taking the best course of action for a patient. Sometimes, though, the best course of action does not always…
When we enter hospitals for surgery, we pray. We pray to some higher power to help steady the hand of the doctor, to steady the mind of the nurse and staff helping the doctor, to ensure that all goes well and that recovery is steady and quick. We pray for all these elements because they are the most common related…
Sometimes a product doesn’t operate as it should and has a defect. You could get injured or even worse, die from it. Product liability is a serious matter. You or your children can get injured by defective products. It’s important to know that you have a right to file a lawsuit. “Product Liability Law” is the legal rule for who…
Going to the hospital should mean you are in trusted hands. The building is full of trained professionals who know exactly what they’re doing and are expected to treat you with a duty of care. They have gone through years and years of schooling and have taken an oath. It’s safe to say that your health should be in high…
