Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as medical malpractice in Monterey California?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care and causes injury. Common examples include surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, and birth injuries. You must prove that the providers negligence directly caused your harm.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in California?
California law gives you three years from the date of the injury or one year from the date you discovered the injury, whichever comes first. There are special rules for minors and cases involving foreign objects left in the body. Missing this deadline usually bars you from filing a lawsuit.
