If you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice in Hacienda Heights or the surrounding communities of Los Angeles County, you need an experienced lawyer on your side. Medical errors cause serious injuries and life-altering hardship for many patients each year. At Moseley Collins Law, our lawyers have over 40 years of experience helping victims of negligence seek the compensation they legally deserve.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide appropriate treatment, makes an error in care, or does not adhere to the established standard of care. This can involve a wide range of mistakes, such as:

• Misdiagnosing or failing to diagnose a serious condition
• Surgical errors and mistakes during child delivery
• Improper medication dosing or prescriptions
• Failure to order needed tests or lab work
• Not recognizing symptoms of an illness or infection
• Using contaminated medical equipment

These errors and more can all add up to medical negligence if they result in further injury, permanent disability, or wrongful death of a patient.

What are some of the specific factors that lead to medical malpractice cases? While individual cases have their own unique circumstances, some common causes include:

• Fatigued staff making mistakes after working long shifts
• Failure to follow safety protocols
• Poor communication between doctors and nurses
• Hospitals cuttings costs and understaffing units
• Lack of supervision for residents, interns and other trainees
• Ignoring best practices for diagnosis and treatment
• Not consulting appropriate specialists

All healthcare providers have a legal duty to adhere to established standards of medical care. If providers deviate from these standards, patients may have a malpractice case if they experience harm.

Minor mistakes can sometimes happen in a complex medical environment, but patients deserve accountability when errors result in major injury or death. Some of the most tragic medical malpractice cases we see at Moseley Collins Law include:

• Birth injuries like improper use of forceps leading to permanent defects
• Failure to recognize blood clots or pulmonary emboli
• Surgical tools or other objects left inside patients after procedures
• Medication overdoses
• Severed arteries, nerves or organs during surgery
• Mismanaged infections leading to sepsis or organ failure
• Robotic surgery device malfunctions

These preventable errors can leave patients undergoing extensive follow-up surgery, coping with chronic pain, facing permanent disability, or mourning the loss of a loved one. Our firm helps clients and their families pursue negligence claims so they can afford the ongoing care and quality of life they deserve.

Those harmed by medical negligence need lawyers well-versed in California malpractice law to successfully hold healthcare providers financially accountable. Key laws governing medical liability claims in the state include:

• Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA) - Limits non-economic damages in malpractice cases to $250,000
• Notice period - Patients must provide healthcare providers 90 days written notice before filing lawsuits, in order to attempt pre-trial resolution
• Statute of limitations - Adults must file cases within 3 years of injury or 1 year after discovery; minors can file until age 8 or 26 depending on circumstances

These and other intricacies highlight why malpractice cases require guidance from experienced California lawyers.
