One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMedical malpractice in a small coastal community like Carmel often means a delayed diagnosis, a surgical complication, or a medication mix-up at a local clinic or nearby hospital that sends patients seeking care further up the coast. These cases are rarely simple. California's MICRA law requires a qualified medical expert to review the care you received before a claim can move forward, and a poor result by itself doesn't establish fault—the question is whether the provider deviated from accepted medical standards. Timing matters too: claims generally must be filed within one year of discovering the injury, no later than three years from when it happened, and a 90-day pre-suit notice is required before a lawsuit can be filed. We handle medical malpractice cases directly, on a contingency basis. Our team can evaluate what happened and explain your options in plain terms, at no upfront cost to you.
California generally gives you one year from discovering the injury, and no more than three years from when it occurred, to file a claim. A 90-day pre-suit notice must also go to the provider before a lawsuit begins, so early legal guidance helps avoid missed deadlines.
Under MICRA, a qualified medical expert typically has to evaluate the care provided before a malpractice claim can proceed. Our team can help arrange that kind of review.
