Claim it before someone else doesWhen a doctor's visit or surgery in Pittsburg leaves you worse off than expected, the first question is usually whether anyone did something wrong. In California, that question has a precise answer: malpractice means a provider fell below the accepted standard of care, and that failure caused real harm. A disappointing result, by itself, is not enough. Residents here often get care close to home along Railroad Avenue or travel out on SR-4 to larger facilities elsewhere in Contra Costa County, so records can end up scattered across several offices. Gathering those records, having them reviewed by a qualified medical expert, and sending the required 90-day notice before filing suit all take time. California's MICRA rules also set a filing window of generally one year from discovery of the injury, and no more than three years from when it happened. We review medical negligence cases on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
California generally gives you one year from the date you discovered the injury, and never more than three years from the injury itself. Getting your case reviewed early keeps those dates from closing on you.
State law requires a 90-day notice to the provider before a lawsuit is filed, and nearly every claim needs a qualified medical expert to explain how the standard of care was breached. We handle both from the start.
