Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice claim in Downey?
In California, you generally have three years from the date of injury or one year from the date you discovered the injury, whichever comes first. There is a strict three-year statute of repose for most cases. Talk to a lawyer promptly to avoid missing the deadline.
What damages can I recover in a California medical malpractice case?
You can recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, plus non-economic damages for pain and suffering. California law caps non-economic damages at 250,000 dollars per claim. Punitive damages are rare and require proof of malice or oppression.
Do I need a certificate of merit to sue a doctor 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 the lawsuit. It helps prevent frivolous claims.
