One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesUnion City sits in southern Alameda County, home to 74,494 people who rely on local clinics, urgent care, and nearby hospitals when something goes wrong. Most of that care is competent. When it isn't — when a fracture from a Whipple Road collision is misread, a medication is dosed incorrectly, or a diagnosis is delayed until a condition worsens — the fallout can reshape a family's life. California treats these cases under MICRA, a set of rules unlike ordinary injury claims. The clock is short: generally one year from the date you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself. A 90-day notice must go to each provider before a lawsuit is filed. And because a poor result alone is not malpractice, a qualified medical expert almost always has to explain how the standard of care was breached. We handle medical malpractice claims on a contingency basis, so you owe no fee unless there is a recovery.
You generally have one year from discovering the harm, and no more than three years from the injury, to bring a claim. Getting started early leaves room for the mandatory 90-day pre-suit notice.
California courts expect a qualified medical expert to explain how care fell below the accepted standard. Our team knows how to build a case around that testimony.
