San Francisco Personal Injury Lawyers
Record-Setting Attorneys On Your Side
Justice for Victims of Medical Negligence
Doctors and medical providers have a duty to follow a number of safety procedures in order to protect their patients. If these professionals make an error that results in serious harm, it can be classified as negligence, warranting legal action.
Medical malpractice claims are some of the most challenging cases that can be undertaken, particularly in California where there are many laws and regulations that affect patients' rights.
At Bostwick & Peterson, our San Francisco personal injury attorneys specialize in these complex medical cases and have extensive knowledge of this unique area of the law. Our personal injury lawyers in the Bay Area are certified experts in medical malpractice claims.
By choosing to work with our talented team, you can be confident that we will fight tirelessly to obtain fair compensation for your injury.
Additionally, our San Francisco personal injury lawyers at Bostwick & Peterson work on contingency fees. To put it simply: if your personal injury case isn’t concluded successfully, we don’t charge any fees for our time or legal services.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in California?
According to the California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, the statute of limitations in California is two years. This means you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim or you risk losing your right to file along with your right to pursue compensation.
Call our San Francisco personal injury lawyers in the Bay Area today at (888) 831-8448 or contact us online to get started with a free consultation.
