Litigation brought on behalf of patients and their families against doctors, hospitals and other licensed health care providers are some of the most difficult and expensive cases which can be effectively prosecuted. Nevertheless, medical malpractice litigation has been an area of emphasis in Mr. Tabak's practice for more than 25 years. He has successfully tried many cases throughout California, even though State Law heavily restricts a patient's ability to pursue this type of litigation – this law being the so-called "Medical Insurance Crisis Reform Act" ("MICRA") which is now 30 years old.

Despite this severe restriction of the rights of patients (and those of patients' surviving family members) to seek legal redress after having received improper and sub-standard medical or nursing care, Stew Tabak has continued to effectively and aggressively prosecute many of these claims. He has prevailed in front of numerous juries and trial courts, as well as having successfully handled various medical malpractice cases in district courts of appeal. His extensive background and experience in these matters has allowed Stew Tabak to develop a comprehensive resource of expert witnesses to provide assistance in prosecuting meritorious cases, and a network of other attorneys and other professionals whom can frequently provide invaluable benefits when litigating these claims.
