Claim it before someone else doesClayton is a small Contra Costa County community, and many residents drive to larger facilities in Concord, Walnut Creek, or beyond for hospital care, surgery, or specialist treatment. When something goes wrong during that care — a missed diagnosis, a surgical error, a medication mistake — the aftermath can be confusing on top of being painful. California law puts real structure around these claims: strict notice requirements, filing deadlines, and a requirement that a qualified medical expert review the case before it can move forward. We handle medical malpractice claims for Clayton residents and understand these rules inside out. We'll screen the facts, check the timeline against California's requirements, and explain whether a claim looks worth pursuing. There's no obligation to move forward after that conversation, and our initial case review doesn't cost you anything upfront.
California generally gives you one year from when you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself, to file. Waiting to sort things out on your own can quietly cost you the right to any claim at all.
Before a lawsuit can even be filed, California requires a 90-day written notice to the provider. Our team is familiar with this process and can make sure the notice is sent correctly and on time.

A bad medical outcome by itself isn't proof of malpractice — California requires a qualified medical expert to weigh in on whether the care fell below the accepted standard. Reaching out to us early so we can line up that review matters.
