One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesShafter residents often travel to larger Kern County facilities for specialized care, and most of those visits go the way they should. But when a provider misses a clear warning sign, operates on the wrong site, or sends someone home with the wrong medication, the harm can be lasting. California law treats these cases differently than a typical injury claim — there are shorter deadlines, a required pre-suit notice, and rules around expert review that make early action important. LawProactive doesn't practice law or decide the merits of any case. We simply listen to what happened, ask a few questions, and if it looks like a fit, connect you with an independent attorney in our network who takes medical malpractice cases on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless they recover money for you. A bad outcome by itself doesn't mean malpractice occurred, but you deserve a clear answer from someone qualified to give one.
California generally gives one year from when the harm is discovered, and never more than three years from the original injury, to bring a claim. Waiting too long to talk to someone can permanently close the door, so acting sooner rather than later matters.
Before a malpractice lawsuit can be filed in California, the provider typically must receive written notice at least 90 days in advance. An attorney familiar with this step can make sure it's handled correctly and on time.

Because a bad outcome alone doesn't prove malpractice, California cases generally need a qualified medical expert to establish that the standard of care was broken. The attorneys in our network work with the right experts to evaluate whether a claim holds up.
