One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWhen you go in for care in Walnut Creek, you expect to come out better, not worse. But in a city of nearly 69,000 people, with residents traveling in from across Contra Costa County for appointments, surgeries, and follow-up visits, errors do occur, and the people they land on are often left with more questions than answers. Medical malpractice in California has its own rulebook, known as MICRA. It sets short deadlines, requires a formal notice before a lawsuit can be filed, and places a cap on non-economic damages that adjusts upward every year. It also demands proof, almost always through a qualified medical expert, that a provider fell below the accepted standard of care. A disappointing result on its own does not meet that bar. Our team handles medical malpractice cases for Walnut Creek residents. There is no charge for an initial consultation, and we work on contingency, so you owe nothing unless there is a recovery.
California generally allows one year from the date you discovered the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself. An early conversation helps you avoid losing a claim on timing alone.
Before a malpractice lawsuit can be filed, the provider must receive a formal notice of intent at least 90 days ahead. Our team is familiar with this step and how it interacts with the deadline.
