Claim it before someone else doesGilroy residents rely on a mix of local clinics, urgent care centers, and larger Santa Clara County medical systems for care, and most visits go as expected. But when a diagnosis is missed, a surgery goes wrong, or medication is mismanaged, the result can be a lasting injury rather than a recovery. California law recognizes that a bad outcome by itself isn't proof of malpractice — a claim generally requires showing that a provider failed to meet the accepted standard of care, and that failure caused harm. These cases are technical, often requiring a qualified medical expert to evaluate the records and testify about what should have happened differently. LawProactive doesn't practice law or evaluate your medical records ourselves; instead, we connect Gilroy residents with an independent attorney experienced in these claims, free of charge, so you can understand whether pursuing a case makes sense for your situation.
California generally gives you one year from when you discover the injury, and no more than three years from the injury itself, to file — plus a required 90-day pre-suit notice to the provider.
MICRA sets a statutory limit on non-economic damages like pain and suffering, and that cap increases annually, so the numbers change year to year.
