Claim it before someone else doesA hospital stay or clinic visit is supposed to leave you better off. When it doesn't, and the reason was a preventable error rather than an honest limit of medicine, California gives West Covina residents a path to hold the provider accountable. That path runs through MICRA, a set of rules that make medical negligence claims different from any other injury case in Los Angeles County. The clock is short: generally one year from when you discovered (or reasonably should have discovered) the harm, and never more than three years from the injury itself. Before filing, your attorney must send the provider a 90-day notice of intent. And because a bad result on its own is not malpractice, almost every case depends on a qualified medical expert who can explain what the standard of care required and how it was breached. We handle these claims on a contingency basis, so no attorney fee is owed unless there is a recovery.
One year from discovery, three years from the injury at most, plus a mandatory 90-day pre-suit notice. Our team knows how to move before those windows close.
California almost always requires a qualified medical expert to establish that the standard of care was breached. We have the resources to retain one.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
We work on contingency, so you pay no attorney fee unless we recover for you. Because MICRA's cap on non-economic damages rises every year, we can also explain what that means for your specific claim.
