Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Corning, CA

When healthcare providers make mistakes, the consequences can change lives forever. Here in Corning, California, residents trust their doctors, nurses, and medical facilities to provide quality care. But sometimes that trust is broken through medical negligence or error. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand how devastating these situations can be. For over 40 years, we've helped victims of medical malpractice rebuild their lives and secure the compensation they need to move forward.

Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare worker provides care that falls below accepted medical standards, leading to injury or harm. These cases are often complex, requiring deep knowledge of both medicine and law. Whether you were harmed at a major hospital or a small medical office, you need experienced legal help to protect your rights.

Corning residents receive medical care at several facilities in the region, including:

• St. Elizabeth Community Hospital, which provides emergency and general medical services
• Enloe Medical Center, offering specialized care and surgical services
• Rolling Hills Clinic, serving the community with primary care

Medical malpractice takes many forms, and the injuries can be severe. Here are some common ways that medical negligence occurs:

When doctors miss or delay important diagnoses, patients suffer. This includes:

• Not recognizing signs of serious illness like cancer
• Dismissing symptoms that need immediate attention
• Mixing up test results between patients
• Failing to order necessary tests

Even minor surgery carries risks, but some surgical errors are preventable:

• Operating on the wrong body part
• Leaving surgical tools inside patients
• Poor monitoring during recovery
• Using unsterile equipment
• Damaging nearby organs or tissues

Mistakes with prescriptions can have serious consequences:

• Giving the wrong drug
• Missing dangerous drug interactions
• Writing incorrect dosage instructions
• Not checking patient allergies
• Misreading pharmacy orders

Problems during pregnancy and delivery can harm both mother and baby:

• Not monitoring the baby's oxygen levels
• Delayed C-section decisions
• Improper use of forceps or vacuum
• Missing signs of fetal distress
• Poor handling of complicated deliveries

Recent studies paint a concerning picture. Johns Hopkins researchers found that medical mistakes rank as the third leading cause of death in America. The Journal of Patient Safety estimates between 210,000 and 440,000 patients face serious harm from medical errors each year. These aren't just statistics – they represent real people whose lives changed because of preventable medical mistakes.
