Statute of Limitations in California
Under California law, you generally have one year from the date you discovered the injury—or should have discovered it—to file a medical malpractice claim. However, no claim may be filed more than three years from the date of the injury, regardless of discovery. There are exceptions, especially for cases involving minors or cases where fraud or concealment occurred. It is critical to consult with a qualified attorney promptly to protect your rights.
What Compensation Can I Receive?
Victims of medical malpractice in Walnut may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Wrongful death damages (if applicable)
California law places certain caps on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases. As of 2023, the cap has been increased and will continue to rise incrementally. A skilled attorney can help navigate these limitations and seek full compensation under the law.
