A professional's mistake becomes malpractice when it drops below the standard of care their field expects and that failure causes real harm. It applies to doctors, lawyers, accountants and other licensed professionals. California's deadlines are short and differ by profession. Medical claims often turn on one year from the date the harm was discovered. Etehad Law works with experts in the same field to establish what the standard actually required.

Frequently Asked Questions About Professional Malpractice in California

These are the questions that come up most often. They are general information about California law, not legal advice for any particular matter.

Not every bad outcome is malpractice. The question is whether the professional's work fell below the standard of care their field expects, and whether that failure caused you a loss. A doctor whose treatment carried a known risk that materialised has not necessarily done anything wrong. A doctor who missed something a competent colleague would have caught may have.

It depends on the profession, and the windows are short. Medical claims run under Code of Civil Procedure section 340.5: one year from when you discovered the injury, or three years from the injury itself, whichever comes first. Legal malpractice runs under section 340.6: one year from discovery, four years maximum. Miss the date and the claim is gone regardless of merit.

In almost every case, yes. California requires expert testimony to establish what the standard of care was and how the defendant departed from it, because a jury cannot be expected to know what a competent surgeon or accountant would have done. We retain experts in the same field before filing, not after.

On non-economic damages, yes. California caps pain and suffering in medical negligence claims, and the cap rises each year under the 2022 reform to MICRA. Economic losses, which means medical bills, lost earnings and future care, are not capped. The cap is one of the main reasons the economic side of a case has to be documented properly.

Any licensed professional who owes clients a duty of competence. Doctors, surgeons, dentists, nurses and hospitals. Lawyers. Accountants. Architects and engineers. Financial advisers and insurance brokers. The legal test is the same in each case; what changes is the standard the profession sets for itself.

For some professional negligence claims California requires the plaintiff's lawyer to certify that a qualified expert has reviewed the facts and believes there is a reasonable basis for the case. It exists to keep unsupported claims out of court. We build that review into the case work-up rather than treating it as a filing formality.

That is a legal malpractice claim, and it has an extra hurdle: you have to prove the underlying case would have gone better but for the mistake. Lawyers call it the case within a case. It means we effectively try your original matter to show what should have happened, then prove what the error cost you.

Often, yes. Consent covers the known risks of a procedure performed competently. It does not sign away your right to a competent procedure. If the injury came from a departure from the standard of care rather than a disclosed risk, the form does not end the matter.

Etehad Law handles professional negligence claims on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery. Case costs, expert fees, records and filing charges are advanced by the firm during the case. The initial review is free and carries no obligation.

Longer than a routine injury claim. Expert review, records collection and the defence's own experts all add time, and professional defendants tend to litigate rather than settle early. Straightforward matters can resolve within a year or two. Contested cases that go to trial take longer. Once the records are in, you get a straight answer about which one yours looks like.
