One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesDos Palos residents often travel outside the city for specialized care, and when something goes wrong during that treatment, sorting out what happened can feel overwhelming. A missed diagnosis, a surgical mistake, or a medication error can upend a family's life, whether the treatment happened at a local clinic or a larger facility in Merced County. California law sets strict timelines and procedural steps for these claims, including a requirement to notify the provider before filing suit. Because these cases almost always require a qualified medical expert to explain how the standard of care was breached, having someone review the medical records early matters. Our team can evaluate whether what happened crosses the line from an unfortunate outcome into malpractice, and explain the next steps in plain language.
California generally gives one year from when you discover the injury, and never more than three years from the injury itself, to bring a malpractice claim. Waiting to sort things out on your own can quietly close that window.
Before a lawsuit can even be filed, California law requires sending the provider a 90-day notice of intent to sue. Getting this step right, and started early, matters for anyone in Dos Palos considering a claim.

A bad medical outcome by itself isn't proof of malpractice — California generally requires a qualified medical expert to establish that the standard of care was violated. We can help arrange that kind of review before deciding how to proceed.
