Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if it was malpractice?

Malpractice means care fell below accepted standards and caused harm. A lawyer will have medical experts review the records.

Are there special rules for malpractice claims?

Many states require expert review, notice before filing and shorter deadlines. Talk to a lawyer early.

How much does a personal injury lawyer in Los Altos Hills cost?

Usually nothing up front. Most work on contingency — a percentage of your settlement or verdict — so you pay only if you recover money.

Should I talk to the insurance company?

Be careful. Don't give a recorded statement or sign anything before talking to a lawyer — early statements are often used to reduce claims.

Is there a deadline to file?

Yes. Every state has a statute of limitations, often two to three years from the injury, and sometimes shorter. Talk to a lawyer early.
