One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesArcata is a small city of under 18,000 people, and many residents rely on a limited number of local clinics and hospital services for everything from routine care to emergency treatment. When something goes wrong during that care — a delayed diagnosis, a surgical mistake, or a medication error — it can be hard to know whether it was an unavoidable complication or an actual departure from accepted medical standards. California law sets a fairly narrow window to act on these claims and requires specific pre-suit steps before a lawsuit can even be filed. We handle medical malpractice matters in the Arcata and Humboldt County area. Our team can review your records, explain the MICRA rules that apply, and help you understand your options. There's no obligation, and we work on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless you recover.
California generally gives you one year from when you discover the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself, to bring a claim. Missing either deadline can end your case regardless of its merits.
Before suing a healthcare provider in California, you must typically serve a 90-day notice of intent. We ensure this process is done correctly and on time.
