A:
I'm sorry to hear about the complications from your knee replacement surgery. While I cannot provide specific attorney recommendations, I can offer some guidance on finding a suitable medical malpractice attorney in the Sacramento, CA area:
1. State Bar of California: Visit the State Bar of California website (www.calbar.ca.gov) and use their attorney search function to find lawyers specializing in medical malpractice in Sacramento.
2. Referrals: Ask friends, family, or colleagues if they can recommend a reputable medical malpractice attorney based on their experiences.
3. Online directories: Use online legal directories such as Avvo, FindLaw, or Martindale-Hubbell to search for medical malpractice attorneys in Sacramento. These platforms often include client reviews and ratings.
4. Local bar associations: Contact the Sacramento County Bar Association's Lawyer Referral and Information Service (LRIS) for a referral to a medical malpractice attorney.
5. Personal injury firms: Many personal injury law firms also handle medical malpractice cases. Search for well-established personal injury firms in the Sacramento area and inquire about their experience with medical malpractice cases.
When contacting potential attorneys, ask about their experience handling cases similar to yours, their success rate, and their fee structure. Most medical malpractice attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning they only receive payment if they win your case.
It's essential to act promptly, as California has a statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims. Generally, you must file a claim within one year from the date you discovered or should have discovered the injury, or within three years from the date of the injury, whichever comes first.
