With extensive expertise handling complex medical malpractice claims for over four decades nationwide, the lawyers at Moseley Collins Law have seen a wide range of errors and oversights resulting in catastrophic injuries, including:

• Surgical Mistakes - Operating on the wrong body part, leaving foreign objects inside patients after surgery, using unsafe medical devices, causing avoidable nerve damage or paralysis, uncontrolled bleeding, moving forward without essential lab test results, etc.
• Childbirth Injuries - Failing to promptly recognize fetal distress signals, improper use of birth-assisting tools like forceps or vacuums, errors administering epidurals, postpartum hemorrhage emergencies and infections due to negligent practices. These errors often lead to permanent nerve damage, brain damage or cognitive delays in newborns.
• Failure to Diagnose - Overlooking early symptoms of heart attacks, strokes, cancers, infections, diabetes and other dangerous conditions through substandard testing, inaccurate interpretations of scan results, or disregard for clear symptomatic patterns. Catching these in early stages is critical for survival odds and recovery outlooks.
• Medication Errors - Ordering or administering incorrect pharmaceuticals, improper dosages, failing to spot dangerous drug interactions, ignoring documented medication allergies, flawed pharmacy dispensing practices, and poor communication between medical providers and pharmacists regarding patient drug protocols.
• Infection Spread - Failure to adhere to fundamental infection control practices when treating communicable diseases allows preventable contagion spread within hospitals. Lapses expose vulnerable patients to life-threatening infections.

And countless other forms of recklessness or substandard care from medical professionals trusted by patients expecting nothing short of excellence when seeking healthcare.

We encourage injury victims and grieving loved ones to discuss their situations with our lawyers during free case consultations - but some more common examples of negligence our firm sees include:

• Medication Errors - Busy nurses, physicians and pharmacy techs often grow distracted multitasking across large caseloads, inviting medication documentation mistakes, dosage miscalculations, ignored drug allergies or dangerous pharmaceutical interactions overlooked.
• Surgical Mistakes - Even routine procedures carry inherent risks, but added complexities elevate likelihood of surgical errors. 
• Misdiagnosis - With heavy patient loads, symptoms of impending strokes, heart failure, cancers or infections often get overlooked, dismissed or interpreted inaccurately resulting in disease progression reaching irreversible states once finally caught. Early detection is key for survival rates.
• Childbirth Injuries - Crucial moments surrounding deliveries leave little margin for error without lifelong implications. Preventable mistakes may inflict infants with disabling conditions through oxygen deprivation, nerve damage, broken bones or negligent practices.
