Frequently Asked Questions

In California, you generally have one year from the date you discover the injury, or three years from the date of the injury, to file a lawsuit. The time limit is shorter for claims against public entities, so it is important to act quickly.
What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case in Laguna Niguel?
California law allows you to recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. However, non-economic damages are capped at $250,000 in medical malpractice cases.
Do I need a certificate of merit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in California?
Yes, California requires your attorney to file a certificate of merit with the complaint. This document states that a qualified medical expert has reviewed the case and believes there is reasonable cause for a lawsuit.
