Los Angeles, CA asked in Civil Litigation and Health Care Law for California

Q: how many days before I can file a lawsuit against a CA hospital for negligence please. Thank you

UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica neglected to notify me upon notice to them by Smith & Nephew that the medical implant they purchased and implanted in me was removed and recalled in 2015-Jan 2017. Most recent negligence includes inpatient malpractice and negligence 10/25/2017-11/27/2017. Do I have to wait 90 days to file a legal complaint. Does section 364 apply to hospitals or just doctors? Thank you.
