One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSanta Barbara is a city of roughly 91,842 people, and most residents will trust a doctor, nurse, or surgeon here at some point in their lives. That trust is usually rewarded. Occasionally it is not, and the person left living with the consequences has to figure out what happened and what to do next. That is where a malpractice claim begins, and it is rarely simple. California's MICRA law shapes every step: a claim generally must be filed within one year of discovering the harm and never more than three years after the injury, a 90-day notice must go to the provider before suit, and a qualified medical expert is almost always needed to explain how the care fell below the standard. The law also caps non-economic damages, though that cap rises each year. We handle medical malpractice claims on contingency, so you owe nothing unless there is a recovery.
California generally allows one year from the date you discover the harm, with an outer limit of three years, and a 90-day pre-suit notice sits inside that window. Getting in touch early keeps those deadlines from closing on you.
A bad result by itself is not malpractice under California law; a qualified medical expert usually has to show the care fell below the accepted standard. Our team knows how to build a case on that foundation.
