Oildale, CA Medical Malpractice Lawyer - Hospital Negligence Attorneys

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury or death due to the negligence of an Oildale doctor, nurse, hospital, or other healthcare provider, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Medical negligence cases can be complex, but an experienced Oildale medical malpractice lawyer can help.

At Moseley Collins Law, our dedicated team of lawyers have over 40 years of experience handling medical malpractice and personal injury cases nationwide. We have a proven track record, having recovered millions of dollars for past clients.

We provide aggressive and compassionate representation for victims of all types of medical negligence, including:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a serious illness or condition
• Surgical errors and mistakes
• Birth injuries to mother or baby
• Failure to properly monitor patients
• Medication errors and pharmacy mistakes
• Nursing home abuse or neglect

If your life has been devastated by substandard medical care, we can investigate what went wrong and build a strong claim for compensation for you.

To have a valid Oildale medical malpractice case, three key elements must be proven:

1. A doctor-patient relationship existed in which the healthcare provider assumed a duty to care for the patient
2. The doctor or medical professional breached this duty of care by providing treatment below the accepted standard of care
3. This breach directly caused the patient to suffer significant physical, financial, or emotional harm

Simply being unhappy with your medical results does not mean your physician was necessarily negligent. Medical procedures, even when properly performed, can sometimes result in complications or less than perfect outcomes. However, if your doctor made egregious errors or showed a reckless lack of skill, you may have grounds for a malpractice suit.

Some examples of potential medical negligence in Oildale include:

• An inaccurate or delayed diagnosis that worsened the patient’s prognosis
• Surgical mistakes made during an operation
• Administering the wrong type or dose of medication
• Miscalculating radiation therapy dosages
• Failing to prevent infections or bedsores at hospitals or nursing homes
• Not detecting fetal distress during pregnancy or delivery

Determining if you experienced true negligence generally requires an in-depth investigation by an Oildale medical malpractice lawyer.

When investigating a potential medical malpractice case, our dedicated Oildale medical malpractice lawyers follow rigorous protocols shaped by our decades of experience. We leave no detail unchecked when examining what went wrong under a healthcare provider’s care.

The first step entails exhaustively compiling relevant medical documentation. We obtain records from:

• The subject healthcare facilities like hospitals, doctor’s offices, clinics, or nursing homes
• Any other facilities involved in subsequent care
• Ambulance services
• Insurers

Records collected include admission sheets, doctor’s notes, surgical reports, discharge summaries, prescriptions, lab test results, medical images, therapy notes, and all other file materials.

Our firm retains highly credentialed medical specialists across nearly every specialty to scrutinize these records for deviations from accepted standards. For complex catastrophic injury cases, we utilize at least four independent specialists to analyze the case allowing for multi-disciplinary insight. Identifying errors often requires diagnosticians with the same training and abilities as the defendant.

We depose the involved healthcare providers, questioning them under oath on their recollections and rationale regarding the treatment in question. Depositions are crucial for exposing contradictions, improbable explanations, and admissions of fault.

Proving medical negligence hinges on credible, authoritative testimony that standards were breached. We call on our specialists to explain where proper protocols were ignored and how adhering to them likely would have prevented the grievous harm inflicted. Expert insight provides the evidence necessary to demonstrate and quantify the avoidable damages now burdening the injured patient and family.

These investigation steps ultimately coalesce into an air-tight recreation of the regrettable chain of events culminating in extraordinary suffering. The specialists contextualize how following medical standards could have spared the grievous harm making such a devastating outcome preventable. Their testimony forms the foundation for constructing an irrefutable medical malpractice claim under California law.

With meticulous investigation and documentation, we build robust cases on your behalf for negotiating a rightful settlement or proceeding to a favorable verdict at trial if necessary. Contact our office today to engage our fact-finding process in seeking maximum compensation for your losses.
