One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesPortola Valley residents rely on nearby San Mateo County medical centers and specialists for everything from routine care to emergency treatment, and most of the time that care goes as expected. But when a diagnosis is missed, a surgery goes wrong, or medication is mismanaged, the effects can reshape a family's daily life in a quiet community like this one. California law treats these cases carefully — a poor result by itself doesn't mean malpractice occurred, and proving a claim generally requires a qualified medical expert to show the standard of care was not met. We understand the strict rules, short timelines, and expert requirements built into California's medical malpractice statutes, so you don't have to navigate this alone or guess at your options while healing.
California generally requires malpractice claims within one year of discovery and no more than three years from the injury, plus a 90-day pre-suit notice. We can help make sure these deadlines aren't missed.
California law caps non-economic damages in malpractice cases, and that cap rises annually. We can explain how this cap may apply to your specific circumstances.
