Hospital negligence disputes are extremely complex. The physicians responsible for errors often have substantial legal and financial resources to defend themselves. That’s why retaining experienced medical malpractice litigation lawyers is essential. The lawyers at Moseley Collins Law thoroughly investigate failures in patient care while compassionately guiding injured clients and grieving families through the legal process.

Specifically, our firm can provide help with:

• Reviewing Your Case Details - We offer free initial consultations to listen to your story, answer questions, examine medical reports, and provide honest assessments regarding negligence and next steps.
• Preserving Evidence Critical to Your Claim – Our lawyers take prompt action to gather and protect vital records, statements, images, data, and other materials from being lost or destroyed.
• Consulting Medical Experts to Identify Lapses – For each potential malpractice case, we retain physicians, nurses, hospital administrators and other specialists to rigorously scrutinize care decisions and pinpoint breaches meeting the legal standard for negligence.
• Managing Complex Court Proceedings – Medical negligence litigation involves many intricate filing requirements, legal theories, arguments over technical issues, settlement talks, and presentation of evidence before judges and juries. Our lawyers handle these demands.
• Help Determining Accountability and Liability – Health organizations often deny responsibility or blame other parties after errors harm patients. We establish whether individual medical providers, hospital departments, health networks, device manufacturers, pharmaceutical firms, or other entities bear fault and have financial liability.
• Valuing Damages for Settlement and Litigation Purposes – Calculating and proving current and future dollar amounts for injured victims’ medical bills, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain/suffering, and family losses requires experience. Our lawyers work with finance and healthcare experts to quantify adequate compensation.
• Negotiating or Litigating for Maximum Recoveries – While a reasonable settlement is often preferable to protracted court fights, having seasoned trial lawyers ready to take cases to verdict before juries and judges provides leverage with defense counsel and insurers during talks. We negotiate aggressively to help clients gain rightful compensation.

San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital is a 233-bed acute care facility offering emergency, cardiac, diagnostic, cancer and other services.

Multi-specialty clinic and physicians group affiliated with Riverside Community Hospital. Areas covered include family practice, pediatrics and various medical/surgical specialties.

Here are some of the most common categories of medical malpractice available to pursue financial restitution for catastrophic injuries or accidental death:

One of the most common yet avoidable medical errors is an inaccurate or late diagnosis. Spotting and testing for serious diseases like cancer or heart disease at early stages can make huge differences in patient outcomes. But physicians sometimes rush appointments or fail to order appropriate scans and lab work. Other times test results showing abnormalities are not properly followed up on. Misreading diagnostic images also occurs.

As a result of misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, patients may suffer assaults from ravaging diseases that could have been treated, experience metastasis, or suddenly die from conditions like strokes or heart attacks. They face harm including:

• Metastatic cancer
• Permanent disabilities
• The need for more invasive treatments
• Loss of limb/organ function
• Shortened life expectancy
• Wrongful death

Bringing life into the world should be a time of joy, but when medical providers are negligent, childbirth can end in tragedy. Errors in prenatal care, overuse of vacuum/forceps, improper C-section procedures, failure to monitor fetal distress, and other mistakes can leave infants with:

• Brain damage
• Cerebral palsy
• Facial paralysis
• Broken bones

Birth injuries can devastate babies for life. And mothers also may experience severe damage. Pursuing obstetric malpractice claims can help pay for special therapy and equipment needed to cope with impairments.

Even routine operations involve some risk, but patients rightfully expect surgeons and medical staff to take proper precautions that minimize the chance of mistakes. However, flaws in surgical technique along with mistakes like operating on the wrong side of the body or leaving debris inside patients still occur too often. Some errors lead to:

• Wrong organ/tissue removal
• Need for repeat surgeries
• Permanent pain or disability
• Coma or death

Healthcare facilities have unique risks of transmitting dangerous antibiotic-resistant superbugs through poor sanitary practices, contaminated medical devices, IV fluids, and other vectors. Far too many patients go in for treatment of an illness or injury yet end up suffering secondary infections including:

• Sepsis
• MRSA
• C. diff
• HIV
• Hepatitis

Medical providers must adhere to strict protocols minimizing infection risks. Breakdowns may be considered negligence.

Medical malpractice laws aim to protect patients against healthcare practitioners who violate established standards of care and competence, causing harm. To prove valid cases in California, key legal elements must be shown:

• A patient-provider relationship existed so the medical staff owed a duty of care
• Physicians or nurses failed to meet the appropriate medical “standard of practice” - ie were negligent
• The negligent actions or omission caused the patient’s injury or death
• Significant harm and damages occurred

California statute mandates cases must generally be filed within three years of the negligence or one year from when harm was discovered. It is also required for malpractice suits to go through a 90-day notice of intent to sue and certificate of qualification process before proceeding to court. An experienced medical malpractice lawyer handles these regulations.

Sophisticated legal representation is invaluable when gathering supportive opinions from medical specialists stating that substandard patient care led to needless patient suffering. Hospitals often proclaim other factors caused outcomes.

When filing medical malpractice claims in California courts or pursuing fair out-of-court settlements, our lawyers present evidence supporting compensation for a range of tangible and intangible losses victims endure. These damages may cover:

• Income loss
• Loss of future earnings
• Unpaid medical bills
• Extended rehabilitative therapy costs
• Assisted living and life care expenses
• Funeral bills (in wrongful death cases)
• Loss of consortium damages
• Pain and suffering

Skilled negotiators determine the full present and future values of these damages while fighting for full and fair restitution. With reputable experts, they can overcome defense challenges to estimations. Reliable medical malpractice lawyers also understand California laws capping certain awards in order to maximize outcomes for victims and survivors within limitations.

You must show a patient-provider duty existed, this duty was breached due to negligence, the breach directly caused injury or death, and you suffered significant damages. Evidence and medical opinions are crucial.

No, discussions with lawyers are confidential. Providers are not notified until formal legal complaints are served after substantial evidence proving valid cases is gathered.

California statutes dictate cases must be filed in court within 1 year from discovering harm/negligence or by 3 years from when the medical negligence occurred.

You technically can, but malpractice litigation is extremely complex. Relying on an experienced law firm levels the playing field against hospitals/insurers and drastically improves your odds of success.

Medical malpractice lawyers do not collect fees unless they successfully resolve cases. We also advance the funds for case investigation costs. You have zero out-of-pocket obligations.
