One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSouth Pasadena residents rely on nearby Los Angeles County hospitals and clinics for everything from routine care to emergency treatment, and most of the time that care goes fine. But when a surgical error, a missed diagnosis, or a medication mistake causes real harm, families are often left confused about whether what happened crosses the line into malpractice. California law sets a narrow window to act and requires a qualified medical expert to weigh in before a claim can move forward, which makes early attorney involvement important. We review your medical records and case details, explain your options, and can take the case on contingency if it moves forward. A hospital stay that ends badly isn't automatically malpractice, but you deserve a clear answer either way.
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 claim. Waiting to sort out what happened can quietly cost you your case.
Before a malpractice lawsuit can be filed, California law requires a 90-day written notice to the provider. Missing this step, or getting the timing wrong, can delay or derail a valid claim.
