Medical facilities in Davis and Central California serve thousands of patients daily. While most patients receive adequate care, some patients unfortunately suffer harm due to avoidable medical errors. Some common incidents of hospital negligence we handle include:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis - Failing to promptly and properly diagnose a medical condition leads to disease progression, unnecessary pain and poorer prognosis.
• Childbirth Injuries - Errors during prenatal care or delivery can cause birth injuries with lifelong effects.
• Surgical Mistakes - From operating on the wrong body part to leaving foreign objects inside patients after surgery.
• Medication Errors - Administering the wrong drug, incorrect dosage or failing to manage adverse reactions can all constitute negligence.
• Anesthesia Errors - Improper administration of anesthesia during surgery can result in serious nerve damage, cardiac arrest or even death.

Any healthcare provider--including doctors, nurses, specialists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, midwives, therapists and the hospital itself--can be held liable for medical malpractice if their failures or errors cause preventable patient injury or death.

The skilled Davis medical malpractice lawyers with Moseley Collins Law have extensive experience helping those seriously injured by all types of medical errors, including:

• Brain damage
• Spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis
• Severe burns
• Loss of limb
• Stroke
• Heart attack

Sadly, medical negligence can even cause wrongful death of patients who entrust their wellbeing to doctors and hospitals. We fight on behalf of grieving families whose loved one died prematurely because of substandard medical care.

If you or a loved suffered harm in a Davis hospital, clinic or other regional medical facility due to an avoidable medical mistake, we commit to helping you pursue maximum compensation through our proven legal process.

When hospital staff physicians, independent doctors with privileges, nurses, technicians and other providers commit errors harming patients, the hospital shares responsibility. Through legal doctrines like apparent agency and corporate negligence, hospitals have a duty to oversee everyone practicing medicine under their credentialing. Thus, we pursue compensation not only from the individual negligent doctor/nurse but the hospital itself for:

• Granting privileges to incompetent, unqualified or impaired physicians
• Failing to supervise physician performance
• Not enforcing adequate protocols, safety policies and quality care standards

By holding hospitals directly accountable for overlooking substandard care by affiliated doctors and staff, we deter future negligence protecting public safety.

Pursuing rightful compensation after medical negligence requires legal action within strict filing periods under California malpractice statute of limitations laws. While ordinary injury claims allow two years to sue, medical-related harms must be brought sooner given legal notice requirements adding an additional 75-90 days.

Thus, it is essential injury victims and grieving families contact our Davis medical malpractice lawyers promptly to avoid forfeiting your rights. We can evaluate the mistakes made and viability of the case for no charge to advise you regarding legal options and next steps you must take for the best chance of success seeking damages for negligence.

At our distinguished medical malpractice firm, meticulous investigation by medical experts lays the foundation for successful litigation against negligent healthcare providers. Here is how we build strong malpractice cases through in-depth investigation:

The very first step after meeting a prospective client is to gather the complete set of medical records pertaining to their alleged malpractice-related injury. This includes records from before and after the errors occurred to assess both standards of care and the resultant harm. We leave no document unreviewed in piecing together what went wrong.

We retain several independent specialists certified in their field to scrutinize the medical records. For example, if surgery led to a wound infection due to lack of sterile protocols, we would consult surgeons and infectious disease doctors. Or if mismanaged labor and delivery caused infant brain damage, we would engage OB/GYNs, neonatologists and pediatric neurologists.

Our medical experts pinpoint where care deviated from standards accepted in the specific medical community and specialty. By calling out the exact failures, whether erroneous technique, lack of monitoring, delayed response, etc., we build an ironclad case for breach of duty.

Not only do our testifying experts demonstrate subpar care but also show how it directly resulted in avoidable adverse outcomes for the patient. Making clear that state-of-the-art care would have prevented the injury or death is instrumental in establishing liability. After very thorough record investigation and expert analysis, we are prepared to prove medical negligence caused our client’s suffering.

From surgical mistakes to medication errors, misdiagnoses to inadequate infection control, healthcare providers must meet certain legally required standards of care. Breaching those duties in a way that harms the patient constitutes medical negligence.

Proving medical malpractice requires showing that the healthcare provider owed and breached a duty of care which directly caused preventable injury. Our lawyers use extensive medical records review by multiple outside experts to demonstrate precisely how standards were violated resulting in harm.

Compensation typically comes from the liable doctor’s malpractice insurance and/or the hospital's own insurance coverage. Rarely do doctors or nurses pay damages directly. However, healthcare providers face increased premiums and state licensing consequences when found negligent – creating accountability to deter future harm to patients.

Every medical negligence case is different. The value depends on severity of injury or loss, length of hospitalization/rehab, medical costs, impact on earnings, and pain/suffering. Our experienced lawyers estimate case value and develop a legal strategy targeting sufficient compensation to cover all your losses.
