Claim it before someone else doesMill Valley residents rely on a mix of small clinics, specialists, and larger Marin County health systems, and most visits go exactly as they should. But when a diagnosis is missed, a medication is dosed incorrectly, or a surgical step goes wrong, the aftermath can be disorienting — especially figuring out whether what happened was a bad outcome or actual malpractice. California law draws a real distinction between the two, and a qualified medical expert almost always has to weigh in before a claim can move forward. Our team reviews medical records and explains whether MICRA's notice and filing deadlines apply to your situation. If you're a Mill Valley patient trying to make sense of a difficult outcome, getting informed early — before evidence or memories fade — tends to matter more than people expect.
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 if things improve can quietly cost you your window.
Before a malpractice lawsuit can be filed in California, the provider typically must receive 90 days' written notice. We can help make sure this step doesn't get missed or mishandled.

Almost every California malpractice case requires a qualified medical expert to confirm the care fell below the accepted standard. A bad result by itself isn't proof of malpractice, which is why this step matters.
