Claim it before someone else doesA visit to a Sunnyvale clinic or a Santa Clara County hospital is supposed to leave you better off, not worse. When it does the opposite because a provider missed something, mishandled a procedure, or ignored a warning sign, California law gives you a path forward, but it is a narrow one. Medical malpractice cases here fall under MICRA, a set of rules that differ from ordinary injury claims. You generally have one year from the date you discovered the harm to file, and never more than three years from the injury. A 90-day notice must go to the provider before any lawsuit begins, and a qualified medical expert is almost always needed to explain how the standard of care was broken. Not every poor result qualifies; medicine carries risk, and the question is whether a careful provider would have acted differently. We handle medical malpractice claims directly. Our team works on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
One year from discovery and an outer limit of three years from the injury leave little room for delay. Reaching out quickly gives us time to gather records and serve the required 90-day notice.
California courts almost always require a qualified medical expert to establish that the standard of care was breached. We know which cases need that review and how to arrange it.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
MICRA caps non-economic damages at a figure that rises each year, while economic losses like medical bills and lost wages are handled separately. We can explain what that means for your situation without overpromising.
