Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice claim in Mountain View?
In California you generally have three years from the date of the injury or one year from the date you discovered the injury, whichever is earlier. There are exceptions for children and foreign objects left in the body. You should speak with a lawyer promptly to avoid missing the deadline.
What damages are capped in California medical malpractice cases?
California has a cap on noneconomic damages like pain and suffering. Under MICRA, the limit is currently $250,000 per defendant. Economic damages such as medical bills and lost wages are not capped.
How do I know if I have a valid medical malpractice case in Mountain View?
You must show that a healthcare provider breached the standard of care and that this breach directly caused your injury. This usually requires a review by a medical expert. A local lawyer can evaluate your case and advise on its strength.
