One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesClovis families generally trust the clinics, urgent care offices, and hospital departments they rely on across town. Most of the time that trust is well placed. Sometimes, though, a diagnosis is missed, a medication is mixed up, or a surgical step goes wrong, and the person left dealing with the consequences is you. Medical malpractice in California is governed by a specific statute called MICRA, and it sets rules that ordinary injury cases do not have. You usually have one year from the day you discovered the harm to file, and generally no more than three years from the injury itself. Before suing, a 90-day notice must be sent to each provider. Almost every case also needs a qualified medical expert willing to explain how the standard of care was breached. A poor result by itself is not enough. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Fresno County residents with an independent attorney who handles malpractice claims on contingency, so you owe nothing unless there is a recovery.
One year from discovery, three years at the outside, and a 90-day notice before any lawsuit can be filed. Getting connected early gives an attorney room to work within those windows.
California almost always requires a qualified medical expert to testify that the standard of care was violated. Network attorneys know how to locate and vet the right specialists.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
MICRA limits non-economic damages, but that cap rises annually under current law. An attorney familiar with malpractice can explain how the current figure applies to your situation.
