Claim it before someone else doesMost people in Stockton walk into a clinic or hospital expecting to leave better than they arrived. When a missed diagnosis, a surgical error, or a medication mix-up sends things the other way, the shock is usually followed by a harder question: was this simply a bad result, or did someone fall short of the standard of care? California law draws that line carefully. A poor outcome by itself is not malpractice; there has to be a departure from what a reasonably careful provider would have done, and a qualified medical expert almost always has to say so. Timing matters too. Under MICRA, you generally have one year from when you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself, with a 90-day notice sent to the provider before any lawsuit is filed. We handle San Joaquin County medical malpractice cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
The one-year discovery window and three-year outer limit can close faster than people expect. Our team will work out which dates apply to you and handle the required 90-day pre-suit notice.
California cases almost always require a qualified medical expert to explain how the care fell short. We know how to line that up and can tell you honestly if a bad outcome doesn't rise to malpractice.
