For over 40 years, Moseley Collins Law has stood beside patients and families affected by medical errors, helping them navigate the path to recovery and justice.

Healthcare providers in our community work hard to deliver quality care, but mistakes can and do happen. When these errors cause serious harm, patients need someone who understands both the medical and legal aspects of their case. Medical malpractice cases in Fort Bragg require careful handling, especially given our unique healthcare landscape and local medical resources.

The impact of medical negligence takes many forms. In our years of practice, we've helped clients affected by:

• Surgical Complications: From instruments left behind to wrong-site surgeries, these errors can lead to severe complications and extended recovery times.
• Medication Errors: Whether it's the wrong dosage, incorrect medication, or dangerous drug interactions, these mistakes can cause lasting harm.
• Missed Diagnoses: When doctors overlook crucial symptoms or fail to order appropriate tests, serious conditions can worsen without proper treatment.
• Birth-Related Injuries: Both mother and child can suffer life-changing injuries when proper care protocols aren't followed during pregnancy and delivery.
• Emergency Room Mistakes: In the fast-paced emergency setting, rushed decisions and oversight can lead to devastating outcomes.

Fort Bragg residents receive care at several local facilities, including:

• Adventist Health Mendocino Coast: The primary hospital serving our coastal community, offering emergency and general medical services.
• Mendocino Coast Clinics: Offering comprehensive healthcare services to families throughout the region.
• North Coast Family Health Center: Serving our community with primary care and specialized medical services.

Recent studies paint a concerning picture about medical errors in America. Johns Hopkins researchers found that medical mistakes rank among the leading causes of death nationwide, affecting hundreds of thousands of patients annually. Here in California, state-specific data shows similar patterns, highlighting the importance of proper legal representation when these errors occur.
