One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSan Bruno residents rely on a mix of nearby San Mateo County clinics, urgent care centers, and larger regional hospitals for everything from routine checkups to emergency surgery. Most of the time, care goes as expected. But when a diagnosis is missed, a surgery goes wrong, or a medication error causes harm, the effects can follow a person for years. California law sets a fairly narrow window to act on these claims, along with specific notice and expert-review requirements that make medical malpractice cases more procedurally demanding than a typical injury claim. LawProactive doesn't practice law or evaluate your medical records ourselves — we simply connect San Bruno residents who believe they were harmed by a healthcare provider with an independent attorney who can review the facts, explain whether MICRA's rules apply to your situation, and discuss next steps. There's no cost to ask questions, and no obligation to move forward.
California generally gives you one year from when you discover the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself, to bring a claim. Missing that window can end a case regardless of its merits.
Before filing suit, California law requires sending the healthcare provider a 90-day notice of intent. An attorney can help make sure this step is handled correctly and on time.

Because a bad medical outcome alone doesn't prove malpractice, California cases typically require a qualified medical expert to establish that the care fell below an accepted standard.
