Moseley Collins Law is a distinguished law firm providing legal advocacy for victims of medical negligence nationwide for over 40 years. Our medical malpractice lawyers have extensive experience representing clients in medical negligence lawsuits and obtaining more than millions of dollars for injured victims and their families.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury related to substandard medical care ranging from misdiagnosis issues to surgical errors and beyond, we provide compassionate counseling and fierce representation towards the maximum financial recovery through settlements or jury awards in your favor.

Medical malpractice refers to professional negligence where a health care provider fails to meet widely-accepted standards in the profession and causes otherwise avoidable patient injury or harm. Common grounds for medical malpractice claims pursued by our lawyers include:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis resulting in disease progression or preventable complications. For instance, dismissing early-stage cancer symptoms as benign without adequate diagnostic testing and follow-up
• Surgical errors like operating on the wrong body part or leaving foreign objects inside after closure
• Anesthesia mistakes leading to brain damage, organ failure or other life threatening issues
• Failure to detect cancer or tumors until progression to later stages despite supporting test results warranting earlier intervention known as diagnostic errors
• Medication errors resulting from improperly dosed prescriptions, unlabeled drugs or negligent dispensing and administration oversight
• Preventable infections resulting from non-sterile environments and procedures
• Childbirth injuries to mothers and infants attributable to improper prenatal handling, negligence during labor such as improper use of delivery instruments as well as lack of appropriate postpartum monitoring and critical care
• Improper usage recommendations or training for medical devices and treatment equipment

The effects of medical negligence can be emotionally and economically devastating. Malpractice may necessitate additional medical treatment, extended hospitalization, invasive procedures, disability equipment, job loss, home healthcare expenses and extensive rehabilitation needs involving hefty uninsured costs. Our firm helps clients like you fight for much-needed compensation and your legal rights.

The initial free case assessment clarifies the merits and legal options to recover damages covering both economic costs and emotional suffering.

With four decades of focused experience, Moseley Collins Law medical malpractice lawyers have an in-depth understanding of relevant laws and litigation processes to build cases to your advantage.

We are fully committed to client interests, accepting cases selectively on a contingency-fee basis wholly aligned with obtaining your best outcome. There are no upfront costs or fees of any kind. We receive legal fees as a success percentage only if your case meets with an agreeable settlement or court victory.

Litigating with an aim to change behaviors and systems where needed, our track record includes millions won for clients - even in the most complex cases turned down by other firms lacking similar determination, strategic rigor and resources. We have the broad expertise to undertake legally complex and protracted contests against well-financed medical opponents when such intensity best serves your long-term justice interests while also recognizing life quality priorities.

The legal definition involves bodily injury or medical harm caused by physician negligence during diagnosis, surgical and nonsurgical treatment, medication management or aftercare interactions falling short of basic professional standards any reasonable healthcare provider must uphold under similar circumstances. Poor physician judgment alone does not necessarily constitute malpractice unless substantive harm results.

If healthcare providers are found liable for malpractice through settlement or legal judgment, monetary compensation aims to cover both economic and non-economic suffering related to the incident. This includes coverage of actual medical costs, lost current and future wages, household contributions, disability and equipment expenses, pain and suffering, and wrongful death benefits for qualified cases.

Responsible providers focused on patient wellbeing and improvement understand litigation seeks fairness - not retaliation. Quality resolution processes should reinforce shared care priorities going forward. However, our legal team is always prepared to ensure protection and non-discrimination for your care rights.

Moseley Collins Law provides legal services strictly on a contingency fee basis requiring no upfront out of pocket payments whatsoever. We only collect a fixed percentage of any monetary settlement or courtroom award ultimately received on your behalf. In loss cases resulting in no financial recovery, you owe us nothing for hundreds of hours invested in your representation. Free initial consultations clarify next steps specific to your situation.

What makes medical malpractice cases uniquely challenging?
Medical negligence claims rely upon successfully demonstrating deviations from complex healthcare quality standards - an area far outside lay expertise. This requires not only interpreting technical treatment data but also differentiating arguable judgment calls from negligent oversight deserving accountability. Only experienced medical malpractice lawyers have the strategic skills and physician connections that level the playing field.

Yes, our lawyers emphasize responsive, patient-centered communication throughout representation. We strive to minimize stress by providing case status updates at each milestone occurrence along with scheduled check-ins. Clients may request progress reports anytime. Open legal team access is central to our client relationships.
