Errors may involve improper use of birthing instruments, failure to perform C-sections promptly, improper management of complications, etc.
• Surgical Errors – Surgeons operating on the wrong body part or leaving surgical equipment inside patients after closure can cause tremendous harm. They may also make reckless errors during surgery involving piercing organs, cutting nerves, puncturing blood vessels, and more.
• Misdiagnosis / Delayed Diagnosis – Failing to order appropriate tests, incorrectly interpreting test results, mixing up patients’ files or histories, and other careless diagnostic mistakes that allow diseases and health conditions to severely worsen unchecked.
• Medication Errors – Doctors and nurses prescribing the wrong drug or incorrect dosage leading to unexpected drug interactions, overdoses, allergic reactions, and other preventable harm. Also applies to anesthesia errors during surgery.
• Childbirth Injuries – Beyond birth injuries, negligence during OBGYN care and delivery can cause injuries to the mother as well such as hemorrhaging, uterine tears, eclampsia, and more if warning signs are ignored.

Though no amount of money can make up for what you lost from preventable medical errors, it can help take care of major expenses moving forward so you can focus on healing and restoring quality of life. Damages our lawyers have recovered in past medical malpractice cases for catastrophically injured clients include:

• Past + Future Medical Expenses – Any past hospital/doctor bills already incurred from extra treatment needed to address the malpractice injuries. Also covers the present value of any future care expected throughout one’s lifespan such as medications, therapy, nursing care, etc. Those injured at a young age commonly have high future cost projections that must be paid upfront in a settlement to provide for long-term needs.
• Lost Earnings – Reimburses income already lost if injuries prevent you from working for a period of time. Also provides the present cash value of future earning capacity if permanent disabilities mean you cannot work the same job at all. Factors in projected career growth and earning potential over time if not for the malpractice impact.
• Pain and Suffering - There is no exact formula to quantify pain and suffering damages. Based on the details of your case our lawyers will seek adequate compensation for physical pain requiring medication and treatment, mental/emotional anguish from disfigurement or disabilities, loss of enjoyment of life from activities you can no longer participate in the same way, and other quality of life reductions stemming from the malpractice.

While money itself cannot provide closure or undo the negligent healthcare provider’s mistakes, holding them financially accountable can ease the ongoing burdens considerably. An experienced medical malpractice lawyer knows how to build a compelling case demonstrating the full scope of damages to demand maximum compensation in court or settlement negotiations.

At Moseley Collins Law, we make the following commitments to medical negligence clients in the Barstow area and throughout California:

• Complete case evaluations at no charge
• No upfront payments – we only collect if you collect compensation
• Resources to handle the costs of investigating your claim
• Guide you to knowledgeable doctors who can assess your injuries
• Help determine all available avenues for payment from responsible parties

This allows anyone harmed by medical errors to focus fully on healing while we build their legal case. We take pride in providing compassionate counsel and working tirelessly so victims receive adequate compensation for their losses.

As medical malpractice lawyers bring over 40 years of experience investigating egregious healthcare errors, we devote significant resources to prove negligence and the cause of injuries from the start. Potential clients provide us with healthcare authorizations to gather all relevant medical records concerning the allegations.

We then engage a panel of leading independent medical experts across nursing, emergency medicine, surgery, anesthesia, pediatrics, OBGYN, and other specialties to scrutinize the records for mistakes. Identifying four or more qualified experts to review the case from different perspectives ensures no stone goes unturned during our initial investigation.

Through this intensive case screening process conducting our forensic analysis separate from the defendant’s perspective, we establish a strong foundation regarding applicable standards of care and how medical providers failed to meet them. This sets the stage for aggressive litigation holding the responsible hospital, doctor, nurse, or other party fully accountable.

Moseley Collins Law chooses cases very selectively with empathy and discretion to give each client’s case the time and attention it deserves. Rest assured we invest the substantial resources necessary to win, negotiating aggressively outside court when possible but ready to take your case to trial if reasonable offers are not made.

First, we conduct a free, no-obligation review of the case details to advise if negligence appears to be involved. We gather all pertinent medical records, billing statements, etc. to piece together a timeline. Then a panel of independent specialist doctors studies the records to provide unbiased opinions regarding improper care. This sets the foundation for a strong claim.

Timing varies widely by factors like how backlogged the court’s docket is and the willingness of negligent providers to settle reasonably. However, many of our past cases reached just resolution in around 12-18 months. We work to build leverage pushing for swifter resolution but won’t settle for less than fair value.

No strict cap beyond the state’s $250,000 limit on non-economic damages applies to Barstow medical negligence claims. Exact compensation depends on factors like severity of injuries, degree of negligence by the provider(s), and skill of your legal team negotiating top dollar. We’ve secured 8-figure jury verdicts for clients before.

If we secure compensation through settlement or jury award, we take 30-40% depending on how far along in litigation it occurs. This covers our extensive resources invested in proving your case. We only get paid if you get paid – not a dime comes out of your pocket throughout the legal process.

Unfortunately, you forfeit any legal rights to pursue compensation if the deadline passes. Deadlines range from 1-3 years from injury date depending on specific circumstances. So, acting quickly is imperative. Our firm devotes the attention needed early on so no details fall through the cracks jeopardizing the claim down the road. Don’t leave money on the table meeting with us ASAP.
