Claim it before someone else doesChico, home to roughly 90,000 people in Butte County, is where much of the region's medical care happens. Residents drive in along the Esplanade or off SR-99 for surgeries, deliveries, imaging, and specialist visits, and most of the time that care goes as it should. When it does not, the questions come quickly. Was this a known risk, or did someone fall below the standard other providers would have met? California draws that line carefully. A poor result by itself is not malpractice; a claim under MICRA has to show that a provider's error caused harm, and a qualified medical expert nearly always has to say so. The timing is tight, too: generally one year from when you discovered the injury, never more than three years from when it happened, with a 90-day notice sent before any suit is filed. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that matches Chico patients and families with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, so you can find out where you stand without paying to ask.
California generally gives you one year from the date you discovered the injury, and no more than three years from the injury itself. Connecting early leaves room for the required 90-day notice before a lawsuit can be filed.
A bad outcome alone is not malpractice under California law. The attorneys in our network know a qualified medical expert is almost always needed to show the standard of care was breached, and they build that into the review from day one.
