Understanding Hospital Liability in Medical Malpractice Cases

When hospitals fail to meet the standard of care and harm occurs, they can be held financially accountable. This responsibility extends to their employed physicians, nurses, technicians, and other staff. Common examples of hospital negligence include:

  • Misdiagnosing or delaying diagnosis of a serious medical condition
  • Medication errors and pharmacy mix-ups
  • Surgical errors and procedurally-related injuries
  • Discharging a patient prematurely
  • Failure to prevent infections and bedsores

If substandard treatment from a hospital, doctor or nurse caused you significant harm, you have legal rights to pursue compensation.

Our lawyers handle a wide range of hospital negligence cases involving:

  • Emergency room errors
  • Anesthesia mistakes
  • Childbirth injuries
  • Preventable infections
  • Improper discharge planning
  • Failure to accurately interpret test results
  • Reckless resident supervision

We also represent victims of nursing home malpractice who suffer pressure injuries, dehydration, malnutrition, infections, and other complications when staff fail to follow physician orders, ignore standard protocols, or make healthcare decisions that contradict medical chart documentation for a patient's underlying conditions. Facilities can be sued for negligence when poor care leads to avoidable patient injury or death.

Our Meticulous Approach to Investigating Hospital Negligence

Our Meticulous Approach to Investigating Hospital Negligence

Successfully proving hospital liability requires in-depth investigation and preparation. Moseley Collins Law spares no effort when building medical malpractice cases on behalf of harmed clients.

Assembling Pertinent Medical Records

We collect every relevant record related to negligent care, including hospital charts, surgical records, diagnostic test results, physician consults, and nurse notes. Piecing together the sequence of events is crucial for constructing the liability argument.

Digging Deeper Through Interviews

Simply reading the records does not tell the whole story. We conduct our own interviews with hospital staff involved in the care, uncovering additional details about policies, decision-making, circumstances surrounding errors, and other useful facts the records do not reveal.

Securing Highly-Qualified Medical Experts

The very foundation of malpractice litigation relies upon favorable expert witness testimony explaining how care breached standards. We work with the nation's top specialists willing to review cases thoroughly and provide compelling testimony when deviations from accepted medical practice result in devastating patient harm. Finding the right experts for specific types of medical negligence can make or break a case.

Addressing Alternate Arguments

In preparing, our lawyers objectively assess any potential weakness in the plaintiff case theory, seeking ways to reinforce arguments against typical defense tactics. We compile extensive documentation and medical literature to defeat common counter arguments. No stone goes unturned as we aim to anticipate and preemptively address what the opposing lawyers may present.

By handling these critical aspects in a disciplined fashion tailored to the circumstances of what transpired, we repeatedly build winning negligence cases for clients against negligent hospitals. The thoroughness applied by our firm provides clients the greatest advantage pursuing justice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked QuestionsHow do I know if I have a valid medical malpractice claim?

You may have a strong case if physicians or medical staff failed to meet accepted standards of medical care, resulting in injuries that caused significant harm or death. Some examples include a misread lab report, surgical error, medication mistake, failure to test for a serious illness, and more.

Does medical malpractice include nursing home abuse or negligence?

Yes. Nursing homes and rehabilitation centers have a duty of care for patients that, when breached, can constitute negligence or abuse. This includes failures like not repositioning bedridden residents leading to painful bedsores, allowing falls, overmedicating, and failing to send patients to the ER in emergencies.

Why do I need to hire a medical malpractice lawyer?

These cases involve complex laws and procedures best navigated by an experienced lawyer. Plus, hospitals and insurance companies fight aggressively to limit financial liability, often employing their own set of legal and medical experts against you.

How much does it cost to hire a medical malpractice lawyer?

Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning no payment is owed to us unless we win your case. This ensures alignment allowing us to focus on getting you maximum compensation.

How long do I have to file a medical malpractice lawsuit?

In California, you normally have only one year from the date of injury to file a claim before you lose your right to sue under the statute of limitations.
