Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse, specialist or other medical professional provides substandard care that directly results in injury or death. There is a basic standard of care that all medical providers must legally uphold. When hospitals, doctors or nurses breach this duty by acting negligently, they can and should be held liable. Common examples of hospital negligence include:

• Misdiagnosing or failing to diagnose serious conditions
• Surgical mistakes and errors
• Birth injuries to mother or child
• Medication errors and pharmacy mistakes
• Poor aftercare and discharge planning

The skilled medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law determine if glaring mistakes were made by ordering your full medical records for expert review by doctors in the same field. We build strong arguments to show how a provider’s incompetence directly caused significant harm. Then we aggressively pursue maximum compensation through settlements or jury awards.

Successfully proving hospital negligence requires in-depth investigation and analysis by medical experts. Moseley Collins Law leaves no stone unturned when assessing the merits of a potential malpractice lawsuit. Our process includes:

1. Requesting a client’s full medical history and records.
2. Having specialists review records to identify potential breaches in standards of care. We consult doctors from fields including surgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists, oncologists, cardiologists, orthopedists, neurologists, and more.
3. Interviewing the client and any witnesses to construct a timeline and document events.
4. Researching the background, certifications credentials of all medical staff involved.
5. Securing supportive expert testimony explaining how and why malpractice occurred.
6. Collecting evidence like lab reports, medical equipment data, communications, hospital policies and protocols.
7. Building a strong argument demonstrating negligence through both medical facts and the human impact on a client’s life.

By conducting thorough investigations into mistakes, we establish liability and causation necessary to prove medical malpractice matters.

In addition to proving legal fault, lawyers must also demonstrate the real-world damages inflicted by medical negligence. Moseley Collins Law works with clients to fully assess both economic and non-economic harm. We dig deep to calculate and document all monetary losses tied to:

• Medical expenses from hospitalization, surgeries, therapies, equipment, medications, in-home healthcare assistance etc.
• Lost income and future earning capacity
• Loss of household services that can no longer be performed due to disability
• Costs associated with adapting vehicles and homes for disabilities

Additionally, our lawyers account for harder-to-quantify non-economic damages like:

• Physical pain and impairment
• Emotional trauma and suffering
• Loss of companionship or consortium
• Effects on family relationships
• Loss of enjoyment and quality of life

Documenting injuries, treatment, prognosis, disabilities, lifestyle effects and more builds justification for just compensation in a malpractice settlement or court award. Our goal is securing enough to cover all quantifiable bills and costs plus additional damages to improve quality of life.

It is important to contact our California medical malpractice lawyers as soon as possible after negligent injuries occur. Pursuing legal action is subject to strict statutes of limitations and deadlines. In most cases just one year from the date when an injury was discovered. Other rules may apply for children injured by malpractice at birth suffering effects like cerebral palsy or Erbs palsy.

Do not wait, as even one day past the expiration can result in your rights being forfeited and case dismissed. The dedicated lawyers at Moseley Collins Law offer free consultations to discuss time sensitivities unique to your circumstances. We provide straight answers on options and risk free assessments on next steps.

The physical, emotional and financial problems stemming from medical negligence should not be underestimated or minimized. Hospitals and physicians rarely admit mistakes, much less accept liability without aggressive lawyers holding them accountable. Moseley Collins Law has a proven process for investigating errors, demonstrating malpractice, and helping victims recover rightful compensation.
