Claim it before someone else doesSonoma County residents rely on a mix of local clinics and larger regional hospitals for care, and most visits go the way they should. But when a diagnosis is missed, a surgery goes wrong, or medication errors cause harm, the aftermath can be confusing and frightening. California's malpractice rules, known as MICRA, add extra layers that don't apply to a typical injury claim — strict notice periods, expert review requirements, and specific damage rules. If you or a family member were harmed during treatment in Petaluma, understanding whether what happened crosses the line from a poor outcome into malpractice usually takes a professional review. Our team can review your medical records and explain whether a claim may be worth pursuing at no obligation.
California generally gives one year from when you discover the harm, and no more than three years from the injury itself, so acting sooner rather than later matters.
Before a lawsuit can even be filed, California law requires a 90-day notice to the healthcare provider, which needs to be handled correctly and early.

Because a bad medical outcome alone isn't enough to prove malpractice, a qualified medical expert typically has to weigh in on whether the care fell below accepted standards.
