One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesGardena residents rely on a mix of local clinics and larger Los Angeles County hospital systems for care, and most of the time that care goes as expected. But when a provider misses a diagnosis, makes a surgical error, or mishandles medication dosing, the consequences can follow a patient for years. California law treats these cases differently than a typical injury claim — there are strict notice requirements, shorter windows to act, and rules limiting certain damages that don't apply elsewhere. A bad outcome by itself isn't proof of malpractice; the law requires showing the provider deviated from an accepted standard of care. LawProactive doesn't practice law or evaluate your medical records — we simply connect you with an independent attorney in our network who can review what happened and explain your options, at no upfront cost to you.
California generally requires a 90-day pre-suit notice to the healthcare provider before a malpractice case can be filed, and the underlying claim itself is usually limited to one year from discovery, capped at three years from the injury. Missing either window can end a claim before it starts.
MICRA sets a cap on non-economic damages like pain and suffering, but that cap rises each year under current law. An attorney can explain how the cap applies to your specific timeline and circumstances.

California generally requires a qualified medical expert to establish that a provider's care fell below the accepted standard. An independent attorney can help arrange the kind of medical review these claims typically need.
