One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSan Clemente residents rely on a mix of local urgent care clinics and larger Orange County hospital systems, often traveling along I-5 or S El Camino Real for specialist appointments and follow-up care. When a diagnosis is missed, a surgery goes wrong, or medication is mismanaged, the consequences can follow a patient for years. California's MICRA law makes these cases legally distinct from ordinary injury claims — a poor result alone doesn't establish fault, and a qualified medical expert almost always has to weigh in before a claim moves forward. There's also a strict 90-day pre-suit notice requirement and a limited window to act, generally one year from when the harm was discovered. We handle medical malpractice claims on contingency, so there's no upfront cost to find out where you stand.
California generally gives one year from when you discover the harm, capped at three years from the injury, and a 90-day notice must go out before any lawsuit is filed.
Because a bad medical outcome by itself isn't proof of malpractice, a qualified medical expert almost always has to evaluate the case before it can proceed.

California's cap on non-economic damages under MICRA rises each year, so the value of a claim can depend partly on timing and current statutory limits.
