One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLong Beach is home to nearly half a million people, and on any given day thousands of them are sitting in exam rooms, emergency departments, and outpatient clinics across the city. Most leave with the care they needed. When something goes wrong—a missed diagnosis, a surgical mistake, a prescription that should never have been written—the harm can follow a family for years. Medical malpractice claims in Los Angeles County run on their own set of rules. California's MICRA law generally gives you one year from the date you discovered the injury, and no more than three years from when it happened. Before a lawsuit is filed, the provider must receive 90 days' written notice. Almost every case needs a qualified medical expert to explain how the standard of care was breached, and a disappointing result on its own does not make a claim. LawProactive does not practice law. We are a free service that connects Long Beach residents with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, so you owe nothing unless there is a recovery.
Under MICRA, the clock usually runs one year from when you learned of the injury, with an outside limit of three years from the event. An attorney can help pin down which date applies to you before time runs out.
California requires written notice to the provider before a malpractice suit is filed. The attorney you connect with handles that step so a technicality does not derail your claim.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Malpractice cases nearly always depend on a qualified medical expert, and non-economic damages are subject to a statutory cap that increases every year. An attorney who works these cases keeps both in view from the start.
