Medical malpractice, also referred to as medical negligence, occurs when a doctor, nurse, technician, hospital or other medical professional fails to provide an acceptable standard of care when treating a patient. This failure results in further injury, worsened condition or even death in some tragic cases.

Some common examples medical errors that may constitute malpractice include:

• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose serious conditions
• Surgical mistakes and operating room errors
• Medication prescription errors and pharmacy dispensing mistakes
• Childbirth injuries to mother or baby due to OBGYN or nurse negligence
• Failure to detect cancer or tumors in earlier stages
• Improper medical device usage or recommendations

Regardless of the specific details, if you or someone close to you has experienced harm, unnecessary pain and suffering, or loss due to evident medical negligence, we can investigate the incident to determine validity of a malpractice lawsuit. Malpractice cases must prove four key elements:

1. A doctor-patient professional relationship existed that instated a duty of care
2. The medical provider violated or breached the standard of care
3. The patient incurred an injury or damages
4. The breach of duty was directly responsible for causing said injury/damages

With ample resources and a litigation team featuring medical experts across specialties, we can establish whether malpractice factors are present in your situation during a free case assessment. If medical error is evident, we'll then aggressively pursue maximum financial damages on your behalf.

If you or a loved one experienced harm, additional injury, or loss due to evident medical negligence, you may have grounds to pursue financial compensation through a medical malpractice lawsuit. By demonstrating negligence and causation, you can potentially recover damages to cover both economic and non-economic losses.

These damages seek to compensate tangible financial effects of the malpractice, including:

If new disabilities inhibit your ability return to work or perform essential job duties, you can claim lost wages. Loss of future earning power may also be claimed if injuries are permanent.

Recovering all past, current and reasonably expected future medical costs associated with extra treatment needed is standard. Expenses like hospital bills, medications, therapy and in-home care fall under this umbrella.

Malpractice may cause significant costs for travel to appointments, home modifications for accessibility, paid caregivers and more. These and other literal out-of-pocket expenses can be recovered.

Unlike the definite financial losses above, non-economic damages concern intangible yet still devastating effects of malpractice negligence, such as:

The physical pain, emotional distress, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression that medical errors and resulting complications inflict deserve fair compensation.

If malpractice injuries now prevent you from activities, hobbies and quality of life components you previously enjoyed, this merit compensation. Damages align with the severity of disruption.

If negligence resulted in wrongful death, the plaintiff's spouse and/or family members may file to recover damages for the loss of their loved one's companionship.

In cases of gross negligence or egregious misconduct, the court may award additional punitive damages intended to punish the defendant. Speak to a lawyer on eligibility.

Moseley Collins Law takes malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning no upfront payment is required from the client and we only collect if we obtain recovery or settlement funds for you. Our firm also fronts all litigation costs.

Each state has statutes of limitations dictating the deadline for filing medical negligence claims. In California, patients generally have one year from the data of discovery, but allowances are made for discovery delays. Have your case analyzed today before time runs out.

Yes, the negligence or inadequate care of an elderly patient or nursing home resident constitutes grounds for a malpractice claim under California law. Bed sores, falls, medication errors and poor nutrition that cause harm would all warrant investigation.

No. The contingency fee percentage our law firm collects comes out of the award or settlement amount the defendant pays. So, if we don't win your case, you pay nothing, while we take on all risk and cost burden.
