Claim it before someone else doesSanta Cruz County residents rely on a mix of small clinics, urgent care centers, and larger hospital systems for their care, and most visits go fine. But when a provider misses a clear warning sign, mishandles a surgery, or gets a medication order wrong, the consequences can follow a patient for years. California law treats these cases differently than a typical injury claim — there's a shorter window to act, a required 90-day notice before filing suit, and rules unique to medical claims under MICRA. If you or someone you love was harmed by substandard care anywhere in Santa Cruz, from a downtown clinic to a hospital near Water Street, our team can review your case at no cost and explain how these claims work locally.
California generally allows one year from when you discover the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself, so waiting can close the door on a claim.
Before a malpractice lawsuit can be filed, California law requires giving the provider 90 days' written notice — a step our team can help you handle correctly.

Because a poor outcome alone doesn't prove malpractice, these claims almost always need a qualified medical expert to show the care fell below an acceptable standard.
