One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMendota is a small farming community in Fresno County, and many residents travel outside city limits for specialized medical care, which can complicate a malpractice claim when providers and records are spread across different clinics or hospitals. If a delayed diagnosis, surgical mistake, medication error, or birth injury caused harm to you or a family member, California law gives you a limited window to act. Under MICRA, claims generally must be filed within one year of discovering the harm and no more than three years after the injury occurred, and a 90-day pre-suit notice to the provider is typically required before a lawsuit can move forward. These claims also demand a qualified medical expert to establish that the care fell below an accepted standard. We can review your medical records, explain your options, and help you understand whether a bad outcome was simply an unfortunate result or a sign that something went wrong. There's no cost to start this conversation.
