When someone suffers an unexpected injury or illness after medical treatment, it can raise questions about whether malpractice occurred. At Moseley Collins Law Firm, we conduct thorough investigations to determine what happened and if negligence was involved. Here is an overview of our step-by-step approach:

The first step our lawyers take is to gather and review all relevant medical records, including:

• Doctor's notes and consultation reports
• Laboratory and pathology results
• Imaging scan results
• Hospital chart and nursing notes
• Billing statements
• Medical expense documentation

We study these records closely to create a detailed timeline and identify any incidents or abnormalities.

Next, we retain at least four independent medical experts with different specialties to provide their unbiased opinion. These experts have decades of real-world experience and insight.

We have them closely review the medical records to assess:

• If proper diagnostics were performed
• Whether treatment standards were met
• If the patient's signs and symptoms were appropriately monitored and managed
• If the patient's injuries or death could have been prevented with reasonable care

A key criteria for medical malpractice is not only proving an error occurred, but that the negligent action or inaction directly caused injury or death.

Our medical experts analyze timing and health declines to provide evidence showing how the mistake resulted in harm, permanent damage, or fatality.

If our investigation shows medical negligence has occurred and caused harm, we work with finance experts to calculate past and future monetary damages. This includes medical costs, lost wages, loss of consortium, and lifelong care requirements.

Finally, our medical malpractice lawyers review the expert findings and damage assessments to provide clear legal options. This includes determining viability of a claim, likelihood of success at trial if necessary, and potential settlement values.

We handle case investigations from start-to-finish so clients can focus on recovery while we pursue maximum compensation.
