One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMendota is a small farming community in Fresno County, and many residents travel outside city limits for specialized medical care, which can complicate a malpractice claim when providers and records are spread across different clinics or hospitals. If a delayed diagnosis, surgical mistake, medication error, or birth injury caused harm to you or a family member, California law gives you a limited window to act. Under MICRA, claims generally must be filed within one year of discovering the harm and no more than three years after the injury occurred, and a 90-day pre-suit notice to the provider is typically required before a lawsuit can move forward. These claims also demand a qualified medical expert to establish that the care fell below an accepted standard. LawProactive doesn't practice law itself, but we can connect you with an independent attorney who can review your medical records, explain your options, and help you understand whether a bad outcome was simply an unfortunate result or a sign that something went wrong. There's no cost to start this conversation.
