One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesFolsom sits at the eastern edge of Sacramento County, and its 76,375 residents rely on local clinics, surgical centers, and hospital emergency departments for everything from routine checkups to trauma care. Most of that care goes well. When it doesn't—when a diagnosis is missed, a medication is mixed up, or a surgeon operates on the wrong site—the harm can follow a family for years. California handles these claims under MICRA, which gives you one year from the date you discovered the injury, and never more than three years from the date it happened, to file. A 90-day notice to each provider must go out before any lawsuit. A qualified medical expert nearly always has to review the records and explain what a careful provider would have done differently, because an unwanted outcome by itself is not malpractice. LawProactive is a free service, not a law firm. We connect Folsom residents with an independent attorney who handles medical negligence cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
You generally have one year from discovering the injury and never more than three years from when it occurred. An attorney can pin down which date applies to you before time runs out.
California requires written notice to each provider at least 90 days before suing. Getting that step right protects your ability to file.
