One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesRoughly 129,000 people call Thousand Oaks home, and most of them will trust a Ventura County clinic, surgical center, or hospital with their health at some point. The large majority of that care goes fine. Occasionally it does not, and the harm comes not from the illness itself but from a missed diagnosis, a medication mix-up, or a procedure that departed from what a careful provider would have done. California handles these cases under MICRA, and the rules are unforgiving on timing. You generally have one year from the date you discovered the injury, and never more than three years from when it occurred, to file. A 90-day notice must go to the provider before suit. Almost every claim also needs a qualified medical expert to explain how the standard of care was breached. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Thousand Oaks patients and families with an independent attorney who can gather records, line up the right expert, and tell you honestly whether the facts support a claim.
One year from discovery, three years from the injury at the outside. An early connection gives an attorney time to obtain records before those windows close.
California requires written notice to the provider before a lawsuit is filed. The attorneys in our network know how to send it and how it interacts with the filing deadline.
