One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMedical care in Costa Mesa moves quickly. Orange County residents pass through local clinics, urgent care offices, surgical centers and emergency departments every day, and most visits end the way they should. When a diagnosis is missed, a medication is mixed up, or a procedure goes wrong because a provider fell short of the accepted standard of care, the person left dealing with the aftermath deserves clear answers. We are not a law firm. LawProactive is a free service that matches you with an independent personal injury attorney who handles medical negligence claims under California's MICRA framework. That framework is unforgiving on timing: generally one year from when you discovered the harm, never more than three years from the injury, plus a 90-day notice before suit can be filed. A bad result by itself is not malpractice, so a qualified medical expert is nearly always needed to show what went wrong. If you were treated in Costa Mesa and something feels off, a conversation costs nothing.
California generally allows one year from discovery of the harm and no more than three years from the injury itself. The attorney you are matched with will pin down which date applies to you before anything else.
A 90-day pre-suit notice must go to each provider, and a qualified medical expert is almost always needed to show the standard of care was breached. Network attorneys build the case around both from the start.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
MICRA caps non-economic damages, and that cap rises every year. An attorney who follows the current figure can value the non-economic side of your claim accurately rather than using an outdated number.
