One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesDel Rey Oaks is a small city, and many residents drive to nearby Monterey County facilities for hospital care, surgery, or specialist visits. When something goes wrong during that care — a missed diagnosis, a surgical mistake, a medication mix-up — it can be hard to know whether what happened was simply an unfortunate outcome or a departure from the standard of care a qualified provider owes a patient. California law treats these claims differently than a typical injury case, with shorter timelines, a required pre-suit notice, and rules about expert testimony. We listen to what happened, then evaluate whether your situation may qualify for a claim. If we believe you have a case, we'll work with you directly to pursue it.
California generally requires malpractice claims to be filed within one year of discovering the injury, and no later than three years from the date it occurred. Waiting to sort out what happened can quietly cost you the ability to pursue a claim at all.
Before a malpractice lawsuit can even be filed, California law requires a 90-day notice to the provider. Our team is familiar with this step and can help make sure it's handled correctly and on time.

A bad medical outcome by itself isn't proof of malpractice — California cases nearly always require a qualified medical expert to establish that the standard of care was breached. This is why an early, honest case evaluation matters.
