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 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.
