One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSierra Madre residents often travel to nearby Los Angeles County facilities for surgery, imaging, or specialist care, and most visits go fine. But when a provider misses a clear warning sign, mishandles anesthesia, or sends a patient home with the wrong medication, the harm can be serious and lasting. California treats these claims differently than a typical injury case — there are strict notice rules, shortened filing windows, and a requirement that a qualified medical expert review the case before it moves forward. A bad result by itself isn't proof of malpractice; the law asks whether the provider deviated from the accepted standard of care. LawProactive doesn't practice law or represent patients directly. Instead, we listen to what happened, then connect you with an independent attorney in our network who can review medical records, consult the right experts, and explain whether your situation may support a claim — all without any upfront cost to you.
California generally gives you one year from discovering the harm, and no more than three years from the injury itself, to bring a claim. An attorney can help pin down which deadline applies to your specific timeline.
Before a malpractice lawsuit can be filed, California law usually requires sending the provider 90 days' written notice. Missing this step or doing it incorrectly can complicate a case, so early legal guidance matters.
