One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMedical malpractice cases in Los Gatos often involve patients treated at local clinics or nearby Santa Clara County hospitals who left with an injury that shouldn't have happened. Maybe a scan was misread, a medication dose was wrong, or a surgical step was skipped. California law doesn't make these cases easy — a bad result by itself isn't enough, and the law requires a qualified medical expert to explain how the care fell below the accepted standard. Strict notice and filing deadlines also apply, so timing matters from the start. LawProactive doesn't practice law or file claims. What we do is connect Los Gatos residents with an independent attorney in our network who can review medical records, consult with appropriate experts, and explain whether a case is worth pursuing — all before any commitment or cost to you.
California generally allows one year from when you discover the injury, but never more than three years from when it happened, and a 90-day notice must go out before any lawsuit is filed. Missing these windows can end a case before it starts.
California law almost always requires a qualified medical expert to establish that care fell below the accepted standard. An attorney experienced in these cases knows how to find and work with the right expert.
