Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Upland California?
Under California Code of Civil Procedure section 340.5, you generally have one year from the date you discovered or should have discovered the injury to file a lawsuit. You cannot file more than three years after the date of injury, regardless of discovery. Exceptions exist for minors and certain cases.
What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case in California?
You can recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages. California also allows non-economic damages for pain and suffering, but caps them at 250,000 dollars for most cases under MICRA. Punitive damages are rare and require proof of intentional misconduct.
Do I need a lawyer to file a medical malpractice claim in Upland?
While you can file a claim without a lawyer, California courts require a certificate of merit from a qualified medical expert before filing a lawsuit. An experienced attorney can help obtain this certification and navigate the strict procedural rules. Many lawyers offer free initial consultations.
