One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesPalo Alto is home to major medical centers and a dense network of clinics and specialists serving Santa Clara County residents. With that concentration of care comes a steady stream of patients who trust their providers to catch problems, communicate clearly, and follow through on treatment plans. When that trust breaks down — through a delayed diagnosis, a surgical slip, or a medication mix-up — the consequences can follow a patient for years. California law sets a high bar for these claims: MICRA requires a qualified medical expert to weigh in, strict notice deadlines apply, and a bad result by itself isn't proof of malpractice. We listen to what happened, evaluate your situation, and explain your options under California law.
California generally gives you one year from discovering the injury and no more than three years from the date it happened, plus a required 90-day pre-suit notice. Missing these windows can end a claim before it starts, so timing matters.
Because a qualified medical expert almost always has to weigh in on a malpractice claim, we know how to line up that kind of review early.
