One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesTruckee residents and the many visitors who pass through this Nevada County mountain town sometimes rely on urgent care clinics, small hospitals, or specialists located down the hill in Reno or Sacramento for serious treatment. When distance, rushed diagnoses, or communication gaps between providers lead to a preventable injury, it's worth having the situation reviewed. California's medical malpractice law, known as MICRA, sets specific rules around how long you have to act, what notice must be given before filing, and how damages are calculated — a bad medical outcome by itself doesn't automatically mean malpractice occurred. We handle medical malpractice cases and can evaluate your medical records, consult with a qualified expert if needed, and explain your options. There's no cost for an initial review, and we are paid only if your case results in a recovery. Reaching out early matters, since strict deadlines apply.
California generally gives you one year from when you discover the harm, but never more than three years from the injury itself. A 90-day pre-suit notice to the provider is also required before a lawsuit can move forward.
Because a poor result doesn't automatically prove negligence, California law nearly always requires a qualified medical expert to review the care and confirm it fell below the accepted standard.
