One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesVentura is a city of about 96,769 people in Ventura County, and when residents need hospital or clinic care they usually stay close to home. Most of that care goes well. Occasionally it does not, and the harder question is whether what happened was an accepted risk or a preventable error. That distinction is the heart of a California medical malpractice claim. Under MICRA, a disappointing result by itself is not enough; the care has to have fallen below what a reasonably careful provider would have done, and that usually must be shown through a qualified medical expert. The timelines are tight too: generally one year from when you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury, with a 90-day notice sent to the provider before a lawsuit can be filed. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Ventura residents with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, so you can find out where you stand without paying anything up front.
California generally allows one year from the date you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself. A quick connection helps make sure the 90-day pre-suit notice goes out in time.
A qualified medical expert is almost always needed to show that care fell below the accepted standard. The attorneys in our network know how to arrange that review and what it must address.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
MICRA places a cap on non-economic damages that rises each year, while economic losses such as medical bills and lost income are treated separately. An independent attorney can explain how that applies to your situation, with no fee unless there is a recovery.
