One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesPatients in Redwood City expect care that meets a professional standard. Most of the time that is exactly what happens. Sometimes, though, a diagnosis is missed, a medication is mixed up, or a surgery goes wrong in a way that careful practice would have avoided. California law calls that medical negligence, and it is different from simply having a bad result — a poor outcome by itself is not malpractice. San Mateo County residents also face a specific set of rules under MICRA. You generally have one year from the date you discovered the harm to file, and never more than three years from the injury itself. A 90-day notice must go to the provider before a lawsuit begins. Non-economic damages are capped at a figure that rises every year, and nearly every case needs a qualified medical expert to explain what should have happened. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Redwood City patients with an independent attorney who works on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
California generally gives you one year from discovering the harm, and no more than three years from the injury, plus a 90-day pre-suit notice requirement. The attorney we connect you with can track those dates from your first call.
Almost every California malpractice claim needs a qualified medical expert to confirm the standard of care was breached. Attorneys in our network know how to arrange that review early, before a deadline becomes a problem.
