Claim it before someone else doesHillsborough residents often travel into San Mateo County's larger medical centers for surgery, specialist care, or emergency treatment, and most of that care goes fine. But when a diagnosis is missed, a medication is mismanaged, or a surgical error causes lasting harm, families are left trying to understand what happened and what their options are. California's medical malpractice law, known as MICRA, sets strict rules around how long you have to act, what notice must be given before filing suit, and how a qualified medical expert must weigh in on the case. These rules exist to filter out weak claims, not to punish patients with a genuine injury. We handle medical malpractice claims for Hillsborough residents at no upfront cost, so you can get a straight answer about your situation before any deadlines pass.
California generally gives you one year from when you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself, to bring a claim. Missing that window can end a case regardless of its merit.
Before a malpractice lawsuit can be filed, California law requires giving the healthcare provider 90 days' advance notice. We can make sure this step is handled correctly and on time.

Because a bad medical outcome alone isn't proof of malpractice, California cases typically need a qualified medical expert to establish that care fell below the accepted standard. We can help arrange that kind of review.
