Claim it before someone else doesWhen someone in Lakewood walks into a clinic, urgent care, or hospital, the reasonable expectation is competent treatment. Most of the time that is exactly what happens. But when a provider falls below the accepted standard of care by missing a diagnosis, mishandling a procedure, or ordering the wrong medication, the harm can follow a family for years. Malpractice claims in California run under a specific set of rules known as MICRA. The timeline is short: generally one year from the date you discovered the injury, and never more than three years from when it occurred. Before a lawsuit can be filed, the provider must receive 90 days' notice. Proving the case almost always requires a qualified medical expert who can explain what should have happened instead. A bad result on its own is not malpractice; the question is whether the care itself was negligent. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects people in Lakewood and the surrounding Los Angeles County area with an independent attorney who handles these matters on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
California generally allows one year from discovery and no more than three years from the injury itself. An early connection with an attorney helps protect that window before it closes.
State law requires written notice to the provider 90 days before suit is filed. Attorneys in our network know how that notice interacts with the filing deadline so nothing slips.
