One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWalnut is a Los Angeles County community of roughly 30,000 residents, and like anywhere else, its patients rely on local clinics, urgent care centers, and nearby hospitals to get things right. Most of the time they do. But when a provider misses an obvious symptom, operates on the wrong site, or sends someone home too soon, the harm can be lasting. California law treats these cases carefully — a poor outcome by itself isn't proof of malpractice, and claims must clear specific legal hurdles, including a short filing window and a required 90-day notice before a lawsuit is filed. LawProactive doesn't practice law or take a cut of any settlement. We simply listen to what happened, ask a few questions about timing and treatment, and — if it looks like a fit — connect you with an independent attorney in our network who takes California malpractice cases on contingency, so there's nothing owed unless you recover.
California generally allows one year from when you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself, so waiting to sort out what happened can cost you the chance to file at all.
Before any malpractice lawsuit can be filed in California, the provider must receive 90 days' written notice — this step needs to happen correctly and early, which is one reason talking to an attorney sooner rather than later matters.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Because a bad medical outcome alone isn't enough to prove malpractice, California cases nearly always need a qualified medical expert to explain how the care fell short of the accepted standard.
