There are a variety of situations where healthcare professionals may breach their duty of care leading to serious harm. Some examples of medical errors we take legal action over include:

Surgeries, including routine procedures, can lead to damaging mistakes if adequate precautions are not taken such as:

• Operating on the wrong body part - Wrong site surgery
• Leaving medical equipment inside the patient's body after surgery.
• Severing organ tissue, arteries, nerves during invasive procedures.
• Anesthesia overdose leading to brain injuries.
• Transmitting infections through unsterile equipment or tools.
• Excessive bleeding incidents during complex surgeries.

In many surgical error cases, the patient ends up requiring extensive follow-up surgery and procedures to resolve preventable complications. The medical negligence lawyers at Moseley Collins Law hold surgeons strictly liable for these major breaches of care.

Falling below the medical standard when assessing health conditions leads to incorrect or missed diagnoses such as:

• Misreading lab results, images or health indicators
• Not recommending further essential testing to confirm diagnosis
• Focusing solely on a patient's initial complaint without looking at the full clinical picture
• Unreported test results. Critical findings identified during scans/tests are left unaddressed and unreported.

These medical oversights result in diseases like cancer spreading while warning signs get ignored. They also contribute to hospital readmission when primary underlying conditions go untreated.

Preventable medical errors during the vulnerable times of labor/delivery lead to outcomes like:

• Fetal distress - Lack of oxygen to baby's brain causing cerebral palsy, other impairments.
• Improperly administered anesthesia or medications given to mothers that negatively impact or even kill fetuses.
• Errors using birth-assisting tools like forceps leading to physical damage.
• Pediatric care mistakes - Surgical injuries, prescription overdoses, misdiagnosis of childhood diseases, etc.

The Medicaid records analyzed in just one year found that severe pediatric neglect in healthcare settings grew by 18% over three years. Our law firm regularly sees major health organization failures within early infant care and child services. We stand ready to advocate for vulnerable young victims and families that desperately need answers and compensation to cover future costs.

Preventable prescription drug-related mistakes including:

• Administering overdoses, wrong dosages of medications not indicated for the patient.
• Miscalculated IV drip rates resulting in respiratory failure, heart attack, blood toxicity.
• Pharmacy dispensing errors providing wrong drugs, incorrect labeling, or contaminated medicines.

Research indicates there is 1 medication error per day made for every hospital patient meaning over 1 million medication mistakes are made every year. The Moseley Collins Law medical negligence legal team investigates cases where clear lapses in safety protocols led to catastrophic injury outcomes for patients in medical facilities throughout Woodland and Yolo County.

The skilled medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law determine exactly what went wrong in your situation, whether it could have been prevented, and what physical, financial and emotional harm directly resulted from substandard medical care. We build airtight cases demonstrating breach of standard protocol and causation between the error and injury. Our lawyers leave no stone unturned while investigating mistakes made by individuals or medical organizations that caused harm to our clients.

In order for a medical malpractice lawsuit to be successful in California, our lawyers must comprehensively prove all the key legal elements:

1. A doctor-patient relationship existed so that the medical provider owed you a direct duty of care. This establishes a legally recognized standard of care that should have been followed.
2. The doctor/specialist/technician then breached their duty of care by providing substandard medical treatment falling grievously below what any reasonable healthcare professional would do in the same situation.
3. The medical negligence directly caused significant physical, financial and emotional harm with evidence of damage. The breach of care was causally linked to a bad outcome.
4. Quantifiable economic & non-economic damages clearly resulted including medical costs, lost income, disability, pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Proving these interconnected elements can get extremely complicated when bringing your medical malpractice claim before California civil court or negotiating a settlement. It often requires consulting with independent medical experts from across specialties to analyze records and provide their expert opinions regarding improper treatment.

Let our Woodland medical malpractice legal team simplify this complex process for you. We independently secure all the medical evidence necessary to demonstrate a breach of standard care leading to your life-altering damages.
