Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Newark, California?
Under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 340.5, you generally have one year from the date you discover the injury or three years from the date of the negligent act, whichever comes first. There are exceptions for minors and cases involving foreign objects left in the body.
What damages can I recover in a California medical malpractice case?
California law allows recovery for economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering. However, MICRA caps non-economic damages at $250,000. Punitive damages are rarely available and require proof of malice or oppression.
How do I prove medical malpractice in California?
You must show that a healthcare provider breached the standard of care and that this breach directly caused your injury. This typically requires expert testimony from a qualified medical professional who can explain what a competent provider would have done differently.
