California State Medical Malpractice Lawyer - Hospital Negligence Attorneys

Have you or a loved one been severely injured by a healthcare provider's mistake in California? Perhaps a serious condition went undiagnosed, a preventable surgical error altered life permanently, a medication mistake caused harm, or negligent maternity care led to cerebral palsy or other birth injury. Whatever happens, you have rights in California.

Pursuing accountability seems pointless when just surviving day-to-day feels impossible. But holding negligent parties liable can help prevent the same tragedies from impacting other patients. It also provides crucial financial support so families can access vital resources like medical care, therapy, equipment, home health, and more.

The path toward justice is complex, but you don’t have to walk it alone. For over 40 years, the legal team at Moseley Collins Law has helped victims nationwide recover damages after medical negligence. Now, our top-rated California medical malpractice lawyers are here to fight for you too.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to meet accepted standards of medical care, resulting in avoidable patient injury. Doctors, nurses, specialists or any licensed medical provider can commit negligence through reckless actions like:

• Misdiagnosing conditions or delayed diagnosis of illnesses
• Preventable surgical mistakes
• Errors administering anesthesia
• Ignoring symptoms of serious health issues
• Failure to order necessary tests or scans
• Improper infection control practices
• Maternal negligence during pregnancy or delivery
• Medication errors

To successfully pursue financial damages in California, our lawyers must prove:

• A provider-patient relationship existed so the provider owed a duty of care
• The medical provider breached this duty by deviating from accepted standards
• This breach directly caused the patient’s catastrophic injuries
• Significant past and future losses resulted - such as extensive medical costs, lost income, reduced life expectancy, diminished quality of life, and more
