Stanton, CA Medical Malpractice Lawyer - Hospital Negligence Attorneys

Have you or a loved one been the victim of medical malpractice at a Stanton area hospital? Medical errors cause serious injury and death to thousands of patients each year. At the medical malpractice law firm of Moseley Collins Law, our lawyers have over 40 years combined experience representing victims of medical negligence nationwide who have suffered catastrophic injuries from substandard hospital care.

Hospital medical negligence leading to patient harm can take many forms. Some of the most common incidents we see include:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a serious illness or condition
• Surgical errors and mistakes during invasive procedures
• Childbirth injuries to mother or baby from negligent maternity care
• Medication errors and pharmacy mix-ups with incorrect drugs or dosages
• Failure to prevent infections and sepsis
• Improper medical device usage
• Discharging patients prematurely
• Failing to properly monitor patients

All of these forms of medical malpractice can lead to severe health consequences for the patient if hospitals fail to uphold reasonable standards of care.

When hospitals do not take proper precautions, use adequate skill and judgment, or communicate effectively amongst staff, patients can experience catastrophic injuries. Some major types of damage we see from medical negligence include:

• Brain damage impacting motor function, cognition, language
• Spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis
• Amputation of limbs
• Severe infection leading to organ damage or removal
• Serious disability requiring lifetime assisted care
• Wrongful death

The emotional trauma of disfigurement, loss of abilities, and reduced independence can also plague malpractice victims for life.

You have one year from the date when the injury occurred to file a claim. There are exceptions for children injured by medical negligence to allow time to reach the age of maturity.

Yes. Approximately 95% of medical malpractice claims are settled through negotiations between lawyers prior to trial. But our firm prepares every case for trial, and we are not afraid to litigate if reasonable agreements cannot be reached.

Hospitals have a responsibility to supervise all medical care administered at their facilities - regardless if performed by a direct employee or contracted provider. As such, the hospital shares liability.

It is extremely foolish and illegal for hospitals to attempt to cover-up incidents by altering documents after-the-fact. Our former defense lawyers are experts at identifying tampered records that suggest obstruction.

There is no cap on medical liability cases in California, but awards typically correlate with severity of injury, length of suffering, and degree of negligence. Individual facts dictate.
