One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesCarlsbad residents rarely expect a routine appointment, outpatient procedure, or emergency visit to leave them worse off than when they arrived. When it does happen, the questions come fast. Medical malpractice in California is governed by a set of rules known as MICRA, and those rules are strict. In most cases you have one year from the date you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury, to file. A 90-day notice must go to the provider before a lawsuit begins. Nearly every claim also requires a qualified medical expert to explain what a careful provider should have done differently, because a disappointing result on its own does not amount to negligence. For a community of roughly 113,000 people served by hospitals and clinics across San Diego County, that is a lot to sort through while you are still recovering. LawProactive is a free service that puts you in touch with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, so you can ask your questions without an upfront bill.
California generally gives you one year from discovering the harm and no more than three years from the injury itself. Getting connected early leaves room for the required 90-day pre-suit notice.
A qualified medical expert must usually confirm that the care fell below the accepted standard. The attorneys in our network know how to evaluate whether that opinion is realistic before you invest time in a claim.
