Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Cotati, CA

When you put your trust in medical professionals, you expect quality care. Unfortunately, sometimes that trust is broken through negligent actions or mistakes that leave lasting harm. Here in Cotati, California, we understand how overwhelming it can be to deal with injuries from medical errors while trying to navigate the legal system. For over 40 years, Moseley Collins Law has stood by victims of medical malpractice, helping them seek the justice and compensation they deserve.

Medical malpractice happens when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare providers make preventable mistakes that harm their patients. These errors can happen in any medical setting - hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, or private practices. California law protects patients by holding healthcare providers accountable when their care falls short of acceptable medical standards.

The impact of medical mistakes can range from temporary setbacks to permanent disability or worse. Some common medical injuries we see include:

Even minor surgical procedures carry risks, but some complications happen because of preventable errors. This includes operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical tools inside patients, or failing to prevent dangerous infections. These mistakes often lead to additional surgeries, longer hospital stays, and difficult recoveries.

Getting the wrong medicine or incorrect dosage can have serious consequences. Recent studies from Johns Hopkins Medicine show that medication errors affect more than 7 million Americans each year. Whether it's a doctor prescribing the wrong drug or a pharmacy filling the prescription incorrectly, these mistakes can cause severe reactions or worsen existing health problems.

When doctors fail to recognize symptoms or order appropriate tests, serious conditions can go untreated. Cancer, heart disease, and other life-threatening illnesses become much more dangerous when diagnosis is delayed. Sometimes a wrong diagnosis leads to unnecessary treatments while the real problem gets worse.

The birth of a child should be a joyful event, but medical negligence during pregnancy or delivery can result in devastating injuries to both mother and baby. These cases often involve lifetime care needs for conditions like cerebral palsy or other developmental issues.
