Claim it before someone else doesWhen you go in for care in Pleasanton, you expect to come out at least no worse than you went in. Sometimes that does not happen, and the reason is a preventable mistake rather than bad luck. Sorting out which one you are dealing with is the heart of a California medical malpractice claim. Under MICRA, the state's malpractice framework, the question is whether a provider fell below the accepted standard of care and whether that lapse caused real harm. A poor result on its own is not enough. A qualified medical expert almost always has to review the records and say so. Timing matters here, too: you generally have one year from when you discovered the injury, and never more than three years from when it happened, plus a 90-day notice must go to the provider before a suit is filed. We handle medical malpractice claims on a contingency basis, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
MICRA gives you roughly one year from discovering the injury, capped at three years from when it occurred, and requires a 90-day notice before filing. Getting in touch early keeps those windows open.
California almost always requires a qualified medical expert to establish that care fell below the standard. Our team knows how to arrange that review before making any promises about your claim.

California caps non-economic damages in malpractice cases, and that cap rises every year. We can explain what the current figure means for you, while economic losses like medical bills and lost income are handled separately.
