One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSignal Hill sits within Los Angeles County, and residents here typically rely on hospitals and outpatient clinics scattered across the greater Long Beach and LA medical corridor for everything from routine procedures to emergency care. When something goes wrong — a delayed diagnosis, a surgical error, an anesthesia mistake, or a medication mix-up — the aftermath can be confusing on top of being painful. California's MICRA law adds extra layers most people never anticipate: a short window to act, a mandatory 90-day notice before filing suit, and a requirement that a qualified medical expert review the case before it can move forward. We handle medical malpractice cases on a contingency basis, meaning there's no fee unless money is recovered on your behalf. Our team listens to what happened, asks the right questions, and reviews whether your situation may support a claim.
California generally gives you one year from when you discover the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself, to bring a malpractice claim. Waiting to sort things out can cost you the right to pursue a claim at all.
Before a malpractice lawsuit can even be filed, California law requires a 90-day pre-suit notice to the provider. We make sure this step is handled correctly and on time.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Because a bad outcome alone isn't proof of malpractice, California almost always requires a qualified medical expert to weigh in on whether the care fell below an acceptable standard. Acting early gives more time to gather that kind of review.
