Claim it before someone else doesWhen a trip to a Eureka clinic or a stay at a local hospital leads to a preventable injury, it's natural to wonder whether something went wrong beyond bad luck. Medical malpractice cases are different from most personal injury matters — California requires a qualified medical expert to review the care given before a claim can move forward, and strict notice rules apply before a lawsuit is filed. Humboldt County residents dealing with a missed diagnosis, a surgical mistake, medication error, or a birth injury often aren't sure where to start or whether their situation even qualifies. We review your medical records and walk you through what happened, what the timeline requires, and whether the case is worth pursuing further. There's no obligation, and no cost unless we recover something on your behalf.
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 — waiting to 'see how you heal' can quietly cost you your case.
State law requires sending the healthcare provider formal notice at least 90 days before filing suit, which means the process needs to start well ahead of any court deadline.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
A qualified medical expert generally has to confirm the care fell below the accepted standard — a bad result alone, even a difficult one, isn't enough on its own to prove malpractice.
