California Medical Malpractice Legal Help
Medical malpractice actions in California are governed by the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA / Civ. Code § 3333.2), recently modernized under AB 35. Patients harmed by a healthcare provider’s failure to adhere to the applicable medical standard of care can seek economic damages and indexed non-economic compensation.
California law provides distinct legal frameworks and deadlines that govern medical malpractice matters. Navigating local superior courts and state agencies requires thorough preparation and understanding of applicable statutory provisions.
