One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesAntioch is home to roughly 110,000 people, and most families here rely on a mix of local clinics, urgent care, and hospitals across Contra Costa County, often driving Highway 4 or Lone Tree Way to reach a specialist. Something going wrong during that care is unsettling, and the first question is usually whether it counts as malpractice. Under California law, a disappointing result by itself is not enough. The question is whether a provider departed from the accepted standard of care and whether that departure caused harm. Answering it almost always requires a qualified medical expert, which is why timing matters so much in these cases. California's MICRA rules generally give you one year from when you discovered the injury, and no more than three years from when it happened, along with a 90-day notice requirement before filing suit. LawProactive is not a law firm. We simply connect Antioch residents, for free, with an independent attorney who can review records and explain whether a claim is realistic.
MICRA generally allows one year from discovery of the injury, capped at three years from the event, plus a 90-day pre-suit notice. Getting connected early keeps those windows open.
