Claim it before someone else doesSanta Clara is home to roughly 126,000 people, and most of them will sit in a clinic, urgent care, or hospital somewhere in Santa Clara County this year without a second thought. Sometimes, though, a patient leaves worse off than they arrived, and the question becomes whether that harm came from a known risk or from care that fell below the accepted standard. California law draws that line carefully. A poor result by itself is not malpractice; what matters is whether a reasonably careful provider would have acted differently. Sorting that out takes medical records, a qualified expert in the same field, and attention to MICRA's timing rules, which generally give you one year from the date you discovered the injury and never more than three years from when it happened. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Santa Clara residents with an independent attorney who reviews these cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California generally allows one year from discovery and no more than three years from the injury itself, plus a 90-day notice before suit can be filed. The attorneys we connect you with track those dates from the first call.
A malpractice claim in Santa Clara County almost always needs a qualified medical expert to explain how the standard of care was breached. Our network attorneys know how to locate and work with the right specialist.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
MICRA limits non-economic damages, and that cap rises every year under current law. The attorney you are matched with can explain what that means for your specific situation rather than making promises.
