We work with independent medical experts and specialists to forensically analyze records and identify breaches in the standard of care. By utilizing multiple doctors from various fields, we strengthen our ability to pinpoint issues.

Some of the investigative steps we take include:

• Acquiring all medical charts and documents

Our lawyers and nurses on staff pour through paperwork line-by-line until satisfied we understand exactly what occurred. We then apply our expertise to demonstrate how the healthcare provider is liable based on California malpractice laws.

If our investigation proves malpractice, Moseley Collins Law helps clients through the multi-step legal process to recover damages. We break this down into understandable terms so you know what to expect.

The key stages after filing a hospital negligence lawsuit include:

1. Case initiation - we submit the complaint detailing allegations to the court
2. Discovery - this information-gathering phase involves depositions, interviews, subpoenas of documents, and more to solidify arguments
3. Settlement negotiations - we attempt to resolve the dispute without trial but prepare fully for court if needed
4. Trial - if no appropriate settlement is offered, we take the case before a judge and jury to decide liability and damages
5. Decision and compensation - if successful, the defendant pays the settlement or court-ordered sum

We guide clients through each phase, handling the substantial paperwork and complex proceedings for you. With deep court experience, we anticipate issues before they arise.

It is difficult for non-lawyers to manage these specialized processes. So, lean on us through this journey toward justice.
