Understanding California’s Malpractice Damages Cap
California law limits one type of damages in medical malpractice cases. This limit is called MICRA, and it only applies to non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
Your medical bills, lost wages, and future care costs have no cap. These are economic damages, and California law protects your right to recover them in full.
As of 2026, the non-economic damages cap is $470,000 for cases that do not involve death, and $650,000 for wrongful death cases. This amount rises automatically each year under state law until 2033.
We track the current cap and explain how it applies to your case during your free case review.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a medical lawyer?
It costs nothing upfront. We work on contingency, so you only pay if we win your case.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in California?
You generally have one year from when you discover the injury, or three years from the date it happened, whichever comes first. Some exceptions apply, so it’s best to talk to us as soon as you suspect a problem.
What counts as medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, dentist, or other provider fails to give you the standard of care a patient deserves. This can include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, or a botched cosmetic or dental procedure.
Can I still get compensation if I wasn't hospitalized?
Yes. You do not need to have been hospitalized to have a valid claim. What matters is whether a provider’s negligence caused you harm, not how severe your recovery looked from the outside.
What if I'm not sure whether I have a case?
That is exactly what a free case review is for. We look at what happened and give you a straight answer about whether pursuing a claim makes sense.
