Claim it before someone else doesIrvine is home to roughly 257,000 people, and a large share of them visit doctors, surgical centers, and specialty clinics in Orange County. Most of those visits go the way they should. When one does not — a scan that was read too quickly, a medication mixed up at discharge, a diagnosis that came months too late — the harm can be lasting, and the path forward is rarely obvious. California treats these claims differently from other injury cases. Under MICRA, you generally have one year from the date you discovered the harm, and no more than three years from the injury, to act. A 90-day notice must go to the provider before a lawsuit is filed. And a qualified medical expert is almost always needed to show that care fell below the accepted standard, because a poor outcome by itself is not malpractice. LawProactive is a free service, not a law firm. We connect Irvine patients and families with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
You generally have one year from discovering the harm, and never more than three years from the injury, so an early conversation protects your options while records are still fresh.
California requires a 90-day pre-suit notice and, in nearly every case, a qualified medical expert; the attorneys we connect you with plan for both from the first review.
We also connect clients with attorneys specializing in these practice areas
