Dana Point, CA Medical Malpractice Lawyer - Hospital Negligence Attorneys

Patients put their trust in hospitals and medical professionals to provide competent, safe care. However, medical mistakes happen far too often. If you or a loved one suffered harm under a Dana Point hospital’s care, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. The lawyers of Moseley Collins Law have over 40 years of combined experience representing clients nationwide who were injured by negligent doctors, nurses, surgeons, and other healthcare providers. We offer compassionate guidance to help victims and families pursue maximum compensation in your time of need.

Hospital negligence occurs when the facility breaches its duty of care through action or inaction by staff. This can involve mistakes such as:

• Misdiagnosing conditions
• Surgical errors and mistakes during procedures
• Improper administration of anesthesia
• Unnecessary procedures or treatment
• Failure to prevent infections and bedsores
• Improper discharge or transfer of patients
• Inadequate monitoring and follow-up
• Failure to act on concerning test results
• Medication errors

These errors directly lead to further injury, complications, and other damages for the patient. Hospitals can also be liable for negligence by individual doctors, nurses, specialists, and other practitioners they appoint to their medical staff and permit to treat patients using their facilities.

If you believe mistakes or recklessness during your Dana Point hospital care caused your harms and losses, you have legal options to pursue compensation. The experienced medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law can investigate what went wrong and build a strong claim or lawsuit on your behalf.

Our firm works exclusively on a contingency fee basis for malpractice claims. This means our clients pay nothing upfront and only if we recover damages. Our fee is taken as a percentage from the monetary compensation we secure. We also pay for all case costs.

In most circumstances, you will have one year from the date of discovery to pursue medical malpractice claims. This statute of limitations must be followed or you may waive your rights. It is essential to contact a qualified lawyer soon as possible because these cases require thorough investigations.

It varies significantly based on factors like: procedural complexities, need for discovery, witness availability, court calendar backlogs in your jurisdiction, and willingness of defendants to settle. Some resolve early in negotiations, while others require trial, appeals etc. We will keep you updated every step.

You may claim economic damages like medical costs, lost wages, and non-economic damages covering pain/suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium etc. If negligence resulted in death, families can pursue wrongful death damages. Maximums apply in some contexts.

We generally welcome mediation or settlement conferences later in litigation when both sides better understand case values. An experienced mediator helps narrow issues and identify reasonable outcomes. Even if unresolved in mediation, the process can be productive moving negotiations along. We mediate often but won’t hesitate to proceed to trial when needed to protect your rights.
