One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesA hospital stay or clinic visit is supposed to make things better. When it doesn't — because a diagnosis was missed, a medication was mixed up, or a surgeon hurried through a step — the people of Westminster are left sorting out what happened and who answers for it. California's MICRA rules give you one year from the date you discovered the harm to file, and never more than three years from the injury itself. Before a lawsuit, a 90-day notice has to go to the provider. And a doctor's opinion is nearly always needed to show that care fell below the accepted standard, because a disappointing result on its own is not malpractice. Westminster residents, roughly 92,000 across this Orange County city, receive care at a range of hospitals, urgent-care clinics, and specialty practices in and around town. LawProactive is not a law firm; we are a free service that puts you in touch with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
MICRA generally allows one year from discovery and no more than three years from the injury. An attorney can pin down which date applies to you before the window closes.
California requires notice to the provider before a malpractice suit is filed. The attorneys in our network know this step and build it into the timeline from the start.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
A qualified medical expert is almost always needed to show the standard of care was breached, and non-economic damages are capped at an amount that rises each year. Your attorney evaluates both early so you know what you are dealing with.
