Moseley Collins Law is a distinguished medical malpractice and negligence law firm with over 40 years of experience representing clients nationwide that have suffered severe injuries or death due to a medical professional’s mistakes.

If you or a loved one has become victim to medical negligence such as surgical errors, misdiagnosis delays, anesthesia accidents, prescription errors or any other form of malpractice and now require substantial long-term medical care, we have the dedicated legal team to win your case.

Medical procedures, no matter how routine, always carry some inherent risks and the possibility of human error. However, when preventable medical mistakes result in catastrophic injuries that dramatically reduce one's quality of life, this constitutes medical malpractice under California state law.

Sadly, many Apple Valley residents fall victim to negligence at local hospitals and clinics more often than is reported. Miscommunications between medical staff, surgical complications, errors reading lab results or scans, and many other factors can set off a chain of events that lead to severe harm to an innocent patient.

Moseley Collins Law fights to shine a light on these unacceptable errors and secure our Apple Valley clients the compensation they rightly deserve to afford proper ongoing treatments. With an impeccable track record delivering favorable case results, our skilled medical malpractice lawyers have helped injured victims recover millions over our long history serving the community.

Below we have listed major hospitals and medical clinics located in and around Apple Valley:

St. Mary Medical Center - Located on Highway 18 just east of Apple Valley, St. Mary Medical Center is a fully accredited hospital and trauma center.

Providence St. Joseph Health Centers - Providence St. Joseph operates two clinics in Apple Valley offering primary care, lab services and specialty treatment.

Apple Valley Community Health Center - The Apple Valley Community Health Center provides essential medical services to uninsured and underserved populations in the region.

While Apple Valley has quality medical facilities within its city limits, many residents visit Victorville, Hesperia and Barstow hospitals for more advanced treatment. This list includes:

• Barstow Community Hospital
• Desert Valley Hospital
• Arrowhead Regional Medical Center
• Kaiser Permanente Hesperia Medical Offices

At times, the added distance introduces obstacles to smooth patient hand-offs between healthcare networks. Gaps in communication and misinterpreted patient data passed between hospitals often sets the stage for dangerous medical errors.

Based on extensive experience handling negligence cases originating from Apple Valley regional hospitals and clinics, our lawyers most commonly see errors related to:

Surgical Mistakes Botched operations, poorly performed procedures, mistakes administering anesthesia and other surgical mishaps often cause immense harm. Surgery mistakes we've seen result in things like punctured organs, severed arteries, left behind medical debris and instrumentation, disfiguration, and loss of limb or function.

Childbirth Complications - The joy of childbirth is marred when preventable mistakes cause injury to mother or baby. Birth injuries, oxygen deprivation and excessive force during delivery can lead to permanent damage. Associated negligence might include failure to monitor distress, delay performing emergency c-section, improper use of birth-assisting tools, etc.

Misdiagnosis & Delayed Diagnosis - Failing to correctly identify emerging medical conditions or mixing up patient test results has drastic consequences. Missing critical symptoms allows diseases to rapidly advance resulting in grievous harm. We've seen misdiagnosis in heart attacks, blood clots, cancers, infections, and other life-threatening illnesses.

Prescription & Pharmacy Errors - Inaccurate drug prescriptions and pharmacy dispensing mistakes can cause patients severe harm. Overdoses, under-doses, and conflicting drug combinations are hazardous. We investigate prescription guidelines not followed, unreadable handwriting, and dosage miscalculations.

Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect - Elderly nursing home residents wrongly assume care facilities will keep them safe. However, we routinely see incidents where staff fails to provide adequate nourishment, maintains poor sanitation, ignores serious medical needs, results in falls/injuries through negligence, and even perpetrates emotional, physical or sexual abuse. These acts are inexcusable.

The experienced medical malpractice lawyers with Moseley Collins Law thoroughly examine case evidence to identify and prove when substandard healthcare delivery has occurred resulting in catastrophic injury or death. We advocate for Apple Valley patients and secure the maximum compensation they deserve.

Medical malpractice applies when a medical professional fails to provide accepted standards of care and harm is caused as a result. This includes things like surgical errors, improper prescriptions, misdiagnosed conditions, delayed testing, child delivery mistakes, etc. The errors must directly cause injury or death to qualify as grounds to sue for negligence.

Some signs that point to malpractice include sudden declines in health after medical care, hospital-acquired infections, surgical implements or sponges left inside patients, disfigurement from procedures, permanent disability not previous disclosed as a risk, errors with medication types or dosages, receiving treatment for a condition that you do not actually have, and more.

No, not always. Complications naturally happen even when protocols are closely followed. But if negligence played a role in causing clearly avoidable injury, malpractice may have very likely occurred. Our Apple Valley medical malpractice lawyers can carefully assess your case specifics to determine if unacceptable standards of care caused you harm.

We provide representation on a contingency-fee basis meaning no payment is owed unless we secure financial recovery for your injuries. We take all upfront case costs on ourselves and only collect legal fees tied to damages won for you in the end. There are no retaining fees or reimbursement required even if your case is unsuccessful. This gives clients flexibility to pursue justice.

California statutes only allow 1 year from the date of injury to officially file a claim before the option expires for good. However, it's wise to contact our Apple Valley lawyers much earlier, as malpractice cases require extensive prep time if we hope to win you fair compensation. Don’t delay so we can immediately start building your case!

Please call our medical malpractice law offices at 800-426-5546 for reliable guidance on your potential negligence claim or any other questions you may have. Our consultations are free and we are happy to assess your situation to advise if legal action applying medical negligence statutes is recommended.
