Venue matters. Medical malpractice cases from Placer County are ordinarily heard at the Superior Court of California, County of Placer. A county running from the Sacramento suburbs at Roseville, its largest city, up Interstate 80 to Lake Tahoe's north shore; sustained residential growth has made it one of the faster-growing counties in Northern California, with the main courthouse in Roseville and the historic courthouse in Auburn.

The law also keeps time: three years from the injury, or one year from discovery, whichever comes first under Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 340.5. A 90-day notice of intent to sue must precede the filing (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 364). Minors under six have until age eight or three years, whichever is longer (§ 340.5).
