Medical Malpractice

About Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice claims arise when a doctor, hospital, or other provider falls below the accepted standard of care and causes real harm. These cases are unusually time-sensitive in California: the deadline is often about one year from when the harm was or reasonably should have been discovered — shorter than for ordinary injuries — so understanding it early matters. California also caps certain non-economic damages, and proving what happened usually requires an independent medical review. If something feels wrong about your care, you can share a few details and connect with a California attorney to understand your options.
