What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury, illness, or even death. These are not just “bad outcomes”—they are preventable mistakes that cause real harm.
Common Medical Malpractice Cases Include:
- Surgical errors or wrong-site surgery
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Medication errors or overdose
- Birth injuries
- Anesthesia mistakes
- Infections due to unsanitary conditions
- Failure to monitor or follow up on patient care
You deserve answers, accountability, and financial compensation for what you’ve been through.
California’s Medical Malpractice Time Limits
In California, medical malpractice cases follow strict time limits known as the statute of limitations. Failing to act in time could mean permanently losing your right to compensation.
Standard Deadline:
- Three years from the date of injury, or
- One year from the date you discovered (or should have discovered) the injury—whichever comes first
Deadlines for Minors:
- Under 6 years old: Must file before the child’s 8th birthday or within 3 years—whichever is longer
- Over 6 years old: Same rules as adults generally apply
Exceptions May Apply:
- If there was fraud, intentional concealment, or a foreign object left in the body
- If the patient was mentally incapacitated
- If the provider left the state
At Lopez Law Group, we analyze your case and timeline to ensure you don’t miss critical filing windows.
