Filing a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit in Rio Vista and Solano CountyMedical malpractice cases demand adherence to strict California statutes of limitations defining required timeframes for filing lawsuits after incidents of negligence.
In general there are two deadlines Rio Vista plaintiffs must meet:
- Notice of Intent to Sue: Within 90 days of discovering an injury was caused by medical negligence, your lawyer must file a Notice of Intent to Sue with the doctor or hospital. This notice gives them 90 days to respond before allowing a lawsuit.
- Filing a Complaint: If no settlement is reached after the notice, the statute of limitations allows 1 year from the incident date or discovery of negligence for your lawyer to formally file a lawsuit complaint. Exceeding this deadline forfeits your rights to legal recovery.
However, state laws include exceptions that extend or "toll" the statute of limitations deadlines under certain conditions - such as plaintiffs remaining under the care of negligent health providers beyond the incident date.
Given varying statutes and numerous exceptions, having an experienced medical malpractice lawyer on your side is imperative for Rio Vista claimants hoping to secure their full entitlement to compensation in the limited timeframe allowed.
