One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMedical care in Modesto never really stops. Emergency rooms and urgent care clinics across the city see a steady flow of patients, including many of the 1,992 people injured in local traffic collisions in 2025. Most of that care goes well. When it doesn't, a missed diagnosis, a medication error, or a surgical mistake can leave a Stanislaus County family facing a second injury on top of the first. California handles these claims under rules known as MICRA. The deadlines are short: generally one year from the date you discovered the harm, and no more than three years from when it happened. Before suit is filed, the provider must receive 90 days' notice. A qualified medical expert almost always has to review the records and confirm the care fell below the accepted standard, because a poor result by itself is not malpractice. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Modesto patients with an independent attorney who takes medical negligence cases on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
MICRA generally gives you one year from discovering the harm, capped at three years from the injury itself. Connecting with an attorney promptly protects that window.
California requires written notice to the provider before a malpractice lawsuit is filed. The attorney you're matched with handles that step so nothing is missed.
