One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesFresno is the medical hub of the central San Joaquin Valley. With more than 520,000 residents inside city limits and many more across Fresno County relying on its hospitals, clinics, and urgent care centers, a great deal of care happens here every day — and most of it goes well. When it does not, the question is whether a provider fell below the accepted standard of care, not simply whether the result was disappointing. The state's MICRA rules add structure that catches many families off guard: a one-year clock from the date you discovered the harm, an outside limit of three years from the injury itself, and a required 90-day notice before a lawsuit can be filed. Non-economic damages are capped, though the cap rises annually. Nearly every case also depends on a qualified medical expert reviewing the records. LawProactive is a free service, not a law firm. We connect Fresno residents with an independent attorney who handles these claims on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California generally gives you one year from the time you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury, plus a 90-day notice must go out before suit. An attorney can pin down which dates apply to your situation before the window closes.
A qualified medical expert is almost always needed to show that care fell below the accepted standard. The independent attorneys in our network know how to get records evaluated early so you are not guessing about whether you have a case.
