Reading the roster in Visalia. Medical negligence cases are expert-driven and expensive to prosecute, so attorneys who practice in this field screen carefully, expect an early records review before a commitment. Ask who funds the expert costs, how MICRA's damage caps and fee schedule shape the case value, and whether arbitration agreements from the provider's intake paperwork apply. Timelines matter twice here: the one-year discovery clock and the 90-day notice of intent under § 364.
