Medical Malpractice Attorney in Sacramento, California

Medical Malpractice in Sacramento

Sacramento's malpractice market is anchored by UC Davis Medical Center — the region's Level I trauma center and primary academic medical institution. UC Davis, as a University of California facility, is a state entity; the California Government Claims Act requires a tort claim to be filed with the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board within 6 months before a civil suit can be filed against UC Davis or its employed physicians. This government notice requirement operates separately from and in addition to MICRA's 90-day Notice of Intent requirement. Sutter Health is the largest private hospital system in the Sacramento region and a frequent malpractice defendant for OB, cardiac, and surgical claims throughout the Capital Region.
