One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWhen you go in for care in Tracy, you expect the people treating you to follow accepted standards. But when a diagnosis is missed, a medication is mixed up, or a surgical step goes wrong, the fallout lands on you and your family — often on top of the bills and the commute you were already juggling along I-205. Medical malpractice claims in San Joaquin County are governed by a California law called MICRA, and it works differently from an ordinary injury case. Deadlines are short: generally one year from the date you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from when it happened. A 90-day notice must be sent before a lawsuit can be filed. A qualified medical expert almost always has to review your records and confirm that the care fell below the standard, because a bad result by itself is not malpractice. LawProactive is a free service, not a law firm. We connect Tracy residents with an independent attorney who works on contingency — no fee unless there is a recovery.
