The long-term impacts victims and families experience can hang over them for a lifetime. Monetary recovery allows access to necessary resources - home healthcare, mobility equipment, loss of income reimbursement, and more. Our firm helps Windsor residents navigate the complex legal and medical aspects necessary to prove negligence and recover rightful compensation.

Windsor area medical facilities provide vital healthcare services, yet even reputable hospitals and clinics can sometimes demonstrate negligence through surgical errors, misdiagnosis delays, prescription mixups, poor care coordination, or not following proper protocols.

No matter which local medical provider treated you or what type of serious harm resulted from mistakes, we can aggressively investigate potential negligence that occurred.

Moseley Collins Law is equipped to handle even the most complex hospital negligence cases in Windsor. Our lengthy track record speaks for itself, having fought medical providers for 40+ years and won millions of dollars for injured clients nationwide. We are dedicated to protecting patient rights.

When investigating potential malpractice, our firm consults with a minimum of four independent medical experts from appropriate specialized fields. These specialists analyze all case records with exacting detail to identify mistakes in patient care, procedures that fell below legitimate standards, and how subsequent injuries logically flow from that negligence.

This meticulous legal and medical review is key for demonstrating deviation from proper care standards applicable under California malpractice laws. We invest tremendous time and resources needed to build strong arguments proving negligence and maximizing potential client compensation. Our proven process has led to many successful Windsor representation outcomes over the decades.

When potential medical malpractice causes patient harm, a thorough independent investigation is crucial to determine negligence and prepare the strongest possible case. Our firm undertakes complete, meticulous investigations seeking all evidence of errors and substandard care.

We immediately send detailed record requests to all involved healthcare facilities and clinicians. This includes inpatient charts, outpatient clinic notes, surgical documentation, specialist consults, discharge summaries, nursing/staff notes, imaging scans, pharmacy forms, billing information and more. We leave no stone unturned to compile a complete set of medical records.

Our staff lawyers conduct an initial scan of the records to flag concerning issues. We then coordinate an expert medical review panel typically comprised of four independent specialists matching case specifics – for example, a surgical mistake may involve analyses from a cardiologist, anesthesiologist, evening intensive care physician and external surgeon from that field.

These medical experts critique all care provided at a higher peer level looking for deviations from accepted standards. They provide comprehensive written opinions explaining the negligent actions, how injuries directly resulted, and the profound harms now facing the patient.

In addition to clear-cut mistakes, we also establish grounds for “res ipsa loquitur” (general negligence) if certain harm occurred that would not ordinarily happen without reckless error or unknown incompetent actions by staff. Expert testimonies help demonstrate these factors.

Piecing together precise timelines further strengthens arguments of cause-and-effect between medical mistakes and subsequent patient injuries. Our experts can even recreate likely scenarios using medical research and logical assessments of how staff actions led to damaging outcomes.

Our team continues investigating other potential liability sources, such as hospital administrators pressuring doctors to reduce costs, system-wide staffing policies leaving departments understaffed, and more. We build robust arguments regarding all reasonable grounds for which such negligence will not happen again.

Successful verdicts and settlements rely on investigations exposing all facets of substandard patient care. Our firm devotes exceptional resources toward gathering irrefutable evidence of medical negligence. This builds maximum leverage during settlement negotiations or convincing courtroom arguments. Our stellar investigation process sets our clients up for the best possible case outcome.

Have you experienced lack of informed consent, mistakes during surgery, delays in diagnosis or treatment, medication errors, or other forms of potential malpractice at Windsor or Sonoma County hospitals and healthcare facilities? Moseley Collins Law provides free, zero-obligation case evaluations. Call us at 800-426-5546 to discuss your experience with one of our legal specialists. We will review everything that happened, answer all your questions, and help determine if you have grounds for a viable negligence claim. If we cannot directly assist with your case, we will gladly point you toward additional resources as needed given the circumstances.

Medical malpractice refers to professional negligence where a healthcare provider violates established standards of medical care, resulting in patient injury or other damages. This can involve mistakes made by doctors, nurses, surgeons, pharmacists, or other clinicians.

You can claim current and future medical costs, lost work wages both now and long-term if disability prevents returning to your occupation, pain and suffering, loss of household contributions from an injured homemaker, loss of consortium between spouses, and other damages - even wrongful death expenses if fatal mistakes occurred.

Most states limit malpractice claim amounts, however California does not. There are no damage caps - a successful case can therefore recover very substantial sums depending on injuries, lifetime implications, and other case specifics.

We offer all initial consultations completely free and without obligation. There is zero cost to have us review your situation, answer questions, assess if you have sufficient grounds for a claim, and provide guidance for next steps. If we formally undertake representation, our fees come strictly as a percentage of the final compensation - so we only collect if you recover damages.

In California there is a longer window than many states, as adults have either three years from the injury date, or one year from when you reasonably discover the harm actually resulted from malpractice - whichever is earlier. Cases on behalf of injured children accrue more time given their age.
