Medical negligence can happen to anyone, anywhere in the Nipomo medical community. However, some of the most common incidents bringing people through our law firm doors include:

One of the top medical errors is failure to promptly diagnose a serious illness or disease. Busy doctors can sometimes miss symptoms, order inadequate testing, or negligently interpret results. Some examples of conditions we see routinely misdiagnosed or under-diagnosed due to medical oversight include:

• Heart attacks
• Strokes
• Meningitis
• Cancer
• Appendicitis
• Diabetes complications

Even common illnesses can become catastrophic if left untreated. Misdiagnosis often leads to delayed treatment as well. Both circumstances typically serve as the basis for a strong medical malpractice lawsuit.

At the hands of an experienced medical malpractice lawyer, failure to diagnose often results in substantial compensation for affected patients and families. The Nipomo lawyers at Moseley Collins Law can build a solid claim by showing that quicker and more appropriate diagnosis very likely would have prevented further patient harm.

Up to 250,000 deaths per year result from preventable medical mistakes occurring in US hospitals according to Johns Hopkins University researchers. A significant portion happen due to surgical errors. Surgery carries inherent risk; however, negligence occurs far too often including:

• Operating on the wrong body part - common examples involve mixing up right and left limbs or the incorrect spinal region.
• Leaving surgical equipment inside patients after stitching them up
• Cutting essential arteries, veins or organs
• Anesthesia overdose leading to brain damage or death
• Failing to prevent post-operative infections
• Botched aesthetic enhancement procedures

Surgical errors can leave patients with disfigurement, disability, agonizing pain or even lead to wrongful death. The seasoned medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law build airtight cases by collecting operative reports, medical charts and expert testimony to prove negligence. Skillful negotiation and litigation compel hospitals, doctors and insurance groups to fully compensate victims harmed by surgical negligence.

Bringing a baby into the world should be joyful, however medical oversight can leave infants permanently damaged. Most common birth injuries arise when medical staff fail to promptly recognize fetal distress and intervene. Typical birth-related medical errors include:

• Failure to perform emergency C-section leading to oxygen deprivation
• Incorrect use of birthing instruments like forceps or vacuums
• Improperly administered medication or incorrect dose
• Infection due to unsanitary conditions

Children often suffer lifelong effects such as cerebral palsy, physical deformities, brain damage, and permanent disability due to preventable medical negligence during the birthing process.

The medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law can help parents cope with the overwhelming costs of specialized childcare and loss of companionship. Successful claims provide access to financial resources for treatments plus quality-of-life improvements in some small way. Our lawyers have helped numerous families across San Diego obtain justice after birth injury medical malpractice.

From handwritten prescriptions to flawed automated pharmacy systems, mistakes with medications harm millions. Some common medication errors include:

• Dispensing or administering the wrong drug
• Too high or too low dose
• Overlooking dangerous interactions
• Ignoring patient allergies
• Inadequate patient monitoring and dosing review

Medication errors frequently cause issues ranging from unexpected side effects to catastrophic bodily injury, paralysis or accidental overdose death. Hospital negligence involving medications often serves as strong grounds for a malpractice claim.

The medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law dig deep into details surrounding prescription systems, protocols, safeguards and documentation processes at pharmacies and hospitals to build an airtight case proving negligence. Securing significant financial compensation removes some stresses facing families after medication errors.

Hospital stays and doctor visits aim to improve health, however sometimes improper care yields tragedy instead. Demonstrating that subpar medical treatment caused meaningful injury or death is the legal basis for malpractice compensation.

Skilled Nipomo medical malpractice lawyers achieve favorable case outcomes through meticulous analysis and smart legal action. By collecting volumes of evidence and documenting a clear timeline of events, we build powerful arguments attributing patient harm directly to one or more medical professionals.

Some foundations for strong medical negligence cases include:

• Medical Records - Charts, doctor's notes, laboratory tests and imagery studies document decision-making plus reveal standards of care. We identify inconsistencies proving negligence.
• Expert Witnesses - Specialists like pathologists, oncologists, cardiologists and surgeons provide testimony declaring that medical decisions failed to meet expectations.
• Scientific Evidence - Literature and medical research bolsters claims by demonstrating proper diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols.

Reconstructing the impetus and specific effects of medical errors requires keen legal aptitude and ample resources. Moseley Collins Law maintains top experts across disciplines related to emergency medicine, oncology, cardiology, pediatrics, orthopedics, neurology and more. Leveraging their insight makes building an effective argument for hospital negligence claims more successful.
