Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in California?
In California, you generally have one year from the date you discover the injury, or three years from the date of the negligent act, to file a lawsuit. The shorter time limit applies. There are exceptions for minors and cases involving fraud.
Do I need to prove negligence in a medical malpractice case?
Yes, you must show that the healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care expected in the medical community. This often requires expert testimony from another medical professional to establish what a reasonable provider would have done.
What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice claim in California?
You can recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering. California caps non-economic damages at 250,000 dollars per claim, regardless of the number of defendants.
