Fees, Costs and Case Results
Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.
Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.
Frequently Asked Questions

- Contact Trembach Law for a free consultation. Our Los Angeles medical malpractice lawyers have extensive experience representing medical negligence victims throughout LA County, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. We work on contingency - you pay nothing unless we win.

- What is the average medical malpractice settlement in Los Angeles?
- No reliable average exists, and a quoted range says little about any particular claim: value follows the strength of the liability evidence, the documented injuries and economic loss, comparative fault, and the coverage actually available. California's MICRA cap limits non-economic damages, but our attorneys maximize all available compensation.
- How long do I have to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Los Angeles?
- California has strict medical malpractice statutes of limitations: one year from discovery of injury or three years from the date of injury, whichever comes first. Contact a Los Angeles medical malpractice lawyer immediately to preserve your rights.

- California's Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA) caps non-economic damages at $250,000 for cases arising before 2023, with increased caps for newer cases.
