One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSan Diego County is home to a large network of hospitals, surgical centers, urgent care clinics and specialty practices serving well over a million residents in the city alone. Most visits go the way they should. Sometimes they do not, and when a provider falls short of the accepted standard of care, California law gives the injured patient a path forward. That path is narrower than many people expect. Under MICRA, a claim generally must be filed within one year of discovering the harm and never more than three years after the injury itself. A 90-day notice must go to each provider before suit is filed. Non-economic damages are capped, though the cap rises annually. And a bad outcome by itself is not malpractice; a qualified medical expert almost always has to explain what should have happened differently. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects San Diego patients and families with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, so you owe nothing unless there is a recovery.
MICRA gives you roughly one year from the date you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury. Getting connected early protects that window.
California requires a 90-day pre-suit notice to each provider, and a qualified medical expert is almost always needed to establish what the standard of care demanded. An attorney in our network knows how to line both up.
