Claim it before someone else doesOrinda residents rely on a mix of local clinics and the larger hospital systems throughout Contra Costa County for everything from routine checkups to major surgery. Most visits go fine. But when a physician, surgeon, nurse, or hospital deviates from the accepted standard of care, the result can be a life-altering injury rather than a healed one. Because Orinda is a smaller community of roughly 19,000 people, many patients here are referred out to nearby Contra Costa or Alameda County facilities for specialized treatment, which can make sorting out where an error occurred more complicated. Medical malpractice cases in California are governed by strict rules — including tight deadlines and a required expert review — so patients often benefit from having our team review what happened and explain the medical and legal sides of a claim. We handle medical malpractice cases and can review your situation at no cost to determine your options.
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. Missing that window can end a valid case before it starts, so early review matters.
Before filing suit, California law requires sending the healthcare provider a 90-day notice of intent. Our team is familiar with this step and can help make sure it's done correctly and on time.

California caps non-economic damages, though that cap increases annually under current law, and cases almost always need a qualified medical expert to establish that care fell below the accepted standard. This is not a case type most people can piece together alone.
