Claim it before someone else doesPort Hueneme residents rely on a small network of local clinics and nearby Ventura County hospitals for everything from routine care to emergency treatment. Most visits go fine, but when a diagnosis is missed, a medication is dosed wrong, or a surgical step is skipped, the harm can be serious and lasting. California treats medical malpractice differently than a typical injury claim — it falls under MICRA, a set of rules unique to healthcare cases that shapes deadlines, damages, and what evidence you'll need. If you believe a provider's care fell below the accepted standard and caused you harm, we can review your medical records and explain your options under these rules. There's no charge to talk, and no obligation to move forward. Given how tight the notice and filing windows can be, reaching out sooner rather than later gives us more room to evaluate your case and build your claim.
California generally requires a 90-day pre-suit notice to the healthcare provider before a malpractice case can be filed. We can help make sure this step happens correctly and on time.
Medical malpractice claims generally must be filed within one year of discovering the harm, and no later than three years from the injury itself. Missing either deadline can end a claim before it starts.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
California caps non-economic damages in these cases, though the cap rises each year, and a qualified medical expert is almost always needed to show the care fell below the accepted standard. A bad medical outcome by itself isn't enough — the case has to show an actual departure from that standard.
