Medical procedures, even routine ones, carry inherent risks. However, when a physician or nurse fails to provide an acceptable standard of care, and their negligent actions cause injury or death, the patient becomes the victim of medical malpractice. Hospital negligence leading to medical malpractice can occur in a wide variety of situations, including:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a serious illness or condition
• Surgical errors and mistakes during medical procedures
• Improper administration or dosing of medication
• Failure to monitor patients appropriately post-op
• Discharging patients prematurely
• Birth injuries due to obstetrician negligence

The effects of medical malpractice and hospital negligence can be catastrophic. Moseley Collins Law represents clients who have suffered severe injuries due to physician negligence such as:

At Moseley Collins Law, our team pursues just compensation for clients who have suffered severe harm due to healthcare provider negligence. We take on complex medical malpractice cases across a spectrum of specialties when substandard medical care leads to catastrophic injury or wrongful death.

Botched surgeries resulting from the negligent actions of surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and other OR staff can cause devastating harm. Surgical mistakes we see include organ perforation, incorrect surgery performed, retained foreign objects due to inadequate counts, anesthesia errors, preventable infections, and more. Patients may face permanent disability, addiction, or death.

One of the most common forms of medical malpractice involves missed or delayed diagnosis. Providers who fail to order appropriate diagnostic tests or correctly interpret results can allow diseases like cancer to progress unchecked. By the time many patients receive an accurate diagnosis, their prognosis is far worse.

When labor and delivery teams fail to adhere to the proper standard of care, oxygen deprivation and other birth trauma can result for the infant. This can cause severe permanent damage like cerebral palsy, seizure disorders, developmental delays and intellectual disability through their life.

The lawyers at Moseley Collins Law devote our practice to protecting the rights of medical malpractice victims in Lincoln and throughout CA. We handle lawsuits against all types of healthcare providers when substandard care causes catastrophic patient harm. Please reach out today if you have any questions about whether we may be able to assist with your specific situation involving medical negligence.

Building a strong case in a medical negligence lawsuit requires proving:

• A provider-patient relationship existed between the defendant healthcare provider(s) and person injured
• The defendant medical professional breached accepted standards of care
• This breach directly caused the patient’s injury or death
• Damages resulted (which can be economic, non-economic, punitive)

Proving breach of an acceptable medical standard is complex. It requires obtaining all pertinent records then having medical experts in relevant fields review them to assess mistakes made.

If our lawyers believe your case has legal merit after a thorough review, we will retain a team of medical specialists spanning different disciplines to analyze your records. They can provide unbiased judgment of where the provider violated standards.

For example, we may have a surgical expert, anesthesiologist, cardiologist, or other relevant practitioners carefully evaluate your medical chronology for gaps showing negligence.

It depends on the specifics, but quite possibly. Failure to diagnose serious illnesses in a timely way commonly leads to medical malpractice. We would need to review all pertinent medical records in detail, create a chronology, then have expert analysis. But wrongful death related to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can absolutely be grounds for a case.

You need strong evidence showing the healthcare provider violated the legally accepted standard of care, which then directly caused the injury or death. Favorable judgements rely on expert testimony confirming malpractice through inaccurate diagnoses, surgical errors, medication mistakes - whatever the specifics may be.

Yes. In California, plaintiffs generally have one year from the date of discovery to file a claim or you may lose the ability pursue compensation. There are exceptions for children injured by medical negligence though. It is imperative to contact our medical malpractice lawyers as soon as possible after any incident.

Understandably that can be a concern after an injury involving ongoing care. Initiating a case shouldn’t impact your access to medical care, however. We also aim for discretion filing claims when appropriate out of respect for all parties involved. Your health remains the priority.

Sources of financial compensation depend on the healthcare providers involved but may include the hospital, physicians, nursing staff, anesthesiologists, drug manufacturers, medical device makers, and their insurance companies. Our lawyers fully investigate all liable parties who contributed to the injury through negligence.
