One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLos Alamitos residents rely on a small network of local clinics and nearby Orange County hospitals for everything from routine checkups to surgery, and most visits go the way they should. But when a provider misses a clear warning sign, mishandles a procedure, or gets a medication wrong, the effects can follow a patient for years. California treats these cases differently than a typical injury claim: medical malpractice suits fall under MICRA, a law with its own notice requirements, filing deadlines, and expert-review rules. That's a lot to sort through while you're also trying to heal or care for a family member. We handle medical malpractice cases and can explain, in plain terms, whether what happened to you looks like a case worth pursuing.
California generally gives you one year from when you discover the injury and never more than three years from the incident itself. Waiting to ask questions can quietly close that window.
Before a malpractice lawsuit can even be filed, California law requires a 90-day notice to the provider — meaning the clock on your case starts moving well before a courtroom is involved.
