Kaiser Arbitrations

The Kaiser Foundation Health Plan is the largest provider of health services in California, covering approximately one in four insured Californians. To contain costs, Kaiser requires plan participants to resolve patient malpractice claims through the Kaiser medical malpractice arbitration process rather than through the court system.

If you are injured due to the negligence of a Kaiser healthcare provider, you cannot sue Kaiser directly. Instead, you must submit a claim, which will be heard before a neutral arbitrator. This neutral arbitrator, often an experienced former litigator or a retired judge, acts as both the judge and the jury.

If you are facing a healthcare dispute, it’s essential to consult with a knowledgeable Kaiser arbitration lawyer in San Bernardino, CA, from SANFORD A. KASSEL, A Professional Law Corporation. Our experienced trial lawyers specialize in advocating for patients’ rights and are well-versed in the intricacies of Kaiser’s arbitration process.
