In general, two years. Sometimes this period can be extended if the malpractice isn't discovered immediately, but don't count on it. Don't delay retaining an attorney.

There are two statutes of limitations hurdles in California, both governed by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 340.5. If you would like to discuss a potential medical malpractice action, you should contact an attorney immediately to discuss your options.
