One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesHalf Moon Bay's coastal location along Highway 1 means many residents rely on urgent care clinics, small medical practices, or facilities in nearby San Mateo or Redwood City for anything beyond routine care. When that care falls short of accepted medical standards, patients can be left with lasting harm that goes well beyond a simple bad outcome. California law recognizes this distinction and gives injured patients a path to hold providers accountable through a medical malpractice claim. Because these cases involve strict notice requirements, filing deadlines, and the near-universal need for a qualified medical expert to review the care given, having someone who understands the process matters. Our team handles medical malpractice claims under California's malpractice statutes. We can evaluate the specifics of what happened and explain the options available to you.
California generally requires a claim within one year of discovering the harm, and no more than three years from the injury itself, plus a 90-day pre-suit notice to the provider before a lawsuit can be filed.
Because a bad outcome alone doesn't prove malpractice, California cases nearly always need a qualified medical expert to show the care fell below the accepted standard.
