Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Benton Park, CA

Medical errors can turn your life upside down. When you visit a healthcare provider, you trust them with your wellbeing. But sometimes that trust is broken through negligence or mistakes. Here in Benton Park, California, our community deserves access to experienced legal help when medical care goes wrong. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over 40 years standing up for patients and families affected by medical negligence.

Not every bad medical outcome qualifies as malpractice. Under California law, medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider's care falls below accepted professional standards and causes harm to a patient. But proving these cases takes specialized legal knowledge.

Medical errors can take many forms. Some of the most serious cases we handle involve:

• Surgical mistakes, like operating on the wrong body part or leaving instruments inside patients.
• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis that allows serious conditions to worsen.
• Medication errors, including wrong prescriptions or incorrect dosing.
• Birth injuries that harm mothers or babies.
• Anesthesia complications from improper administration.
• Lack of informed consent about procedures and risks.
• Early discharge before a patient is stable.
• Treatment that goes against medical standards.

Benton Park residents receive care at several major medical centers. While most provide quality care, errors can happen anywhere:

• Sacramento Medical Center provides specialized treatments and surgery.
• Mercy Regional Medical Center offers emergency and acute care.
• UC Davis Medical Center handles complex cases and research.

The harm from medical errors can change lives forever. Studies in the Journal of Patient Safety show medical mistakes rank as the third leading cause of death nationwide. Common injuries we see include:

• Brain damage from lack of oxygen or medication errors.
• Spinal cord trauma leading to paralysis.
• Major organ failure requiring lifelong care.
• Dangerous post-surgical infections.
• Deaths that could have been prevented.
• Birth complications affecting mother and child.
