Claim it before someone else doesMedical malpractice cases in San Bernardino County carry some of the strictest timelines and evidence requirements in California civil law. If you or a family member suffered harm from a delayed diagnosis, a surgical error, or a medication mistake at a Highland clinic or a nearby hospital, the law generally gives you one year from when you discovered the harm, and no more than three years from the date of injury, to act. Before any lawsuit can even be filed, California requires a 90-day written notice to the provider. Because these claims almost always need a qualified medical expert to establish that the care fell below an accepted standard, having someone review your file early matters. LawProactive doesn't practice law or handle your claim directly — we simply connect you with an independent attorney in our network who can evaluate whether your situation involves a compensable error, free of charge and with no obligation.
California generally requires medical malpractice claims to be filed within one year of discovering the harm, and no later than three years from the injury itself. Missing this window can end a claim before it starts.
Before filing suit, California law requires sending the healthcare provider a 90-day written notice. An attorney can help make sure this step is handled correctly and on time.
