One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMedical care for Daly City stretches across San Mateo County and up into San Francisco, and for most of the city's roughly 106,000 residents it works the way it should. Sometimes it does not. A missed lab result, a surgery that goes wrong for an avoidable reason, a prescription filled incorrectly at a pharmacy along Mission Street — these are the moments when California malpractice law may come into play. The rules under MICRA are strict. You generally have one year from the date you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself, to bring a claim. Before any lawsuit is filed, a 90-day notice must go to each provider involved. Nearly every case also depends on a qualified medical expert willing to state that the care fell below the accepted standard, because a poor outcome on its own is not malpractice. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Daly City patients and families with an independent attorney who takes these cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
One year from discovery, three years at the outside, plus a mandatory 90-day pre-suit notice. An attorney who knows this timeline can start protecting your claim right away.
California courts almost always require a qualified medical expert to establish that care fell below the standard. The attorneys in our network know how to find and work with them.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Non-economic damages in malpractice cases are capped by statute, though the cap rises each year. A good attorney will explain what that means for you and whether a bad result actually amounts to negligence.
