One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWhen a hospital stay or clinic visit in Riverside leaves you worse off than when you arrived, the first question is usually not about lawyers. It is about what went wrong and whether anyone will explain it. LawProactive exists for the moment after that, when you decide you want an independent attorney to look at your records. We are not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Riverside County residents with a personal injury attorney who handles medical negligence cases on contingency. California's MICRA rules shape every one of these claims: a one-year clock that starts when you discover the harm, a hard three-year outer limit from the date of injury, a 90-day notice you must send before filing, and a cap on non-economic damages that increases each year. Nearly every case also needs a qualified medical expert to say the care fell below the standard. That is why a bad result by itself is not enough; the attorney has to show the provider did something a careful one would not have done.
In California you generally have one year from when you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself. An early connection gives your attorney room to gather records before that window narrows.
California requires written notice to each provider at least 90 days before a malpractice lawsuit is filed. The attorneys in our network build that step into the timeline so it does not become a surprise.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
A qualified medical expert is almost always needed to show the care fell below the accepted standard, because a poor outcome alone is not malpractice. Your attorney will tell you honestly whether the medicine supports a claim.
