Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Gonzales, CA

When healthcare providers make mistakes, the consequences can turn lives upside down. Here in Gonzales, California, we know that medical errors don't just affect the patient – they impact entire families and communities. If you're reading this because you or someone you care about has been hurt by medical negligence, know that you have options. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent more than 40 years standing up for patients and families affected by medical malpractice.

Medical malpractice happens when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare workers provide care that falls below acceptable professional standards. For example, if your doctor misses obvious warning signs of a serious condition, or if a surgeon operates on the wrong body part, that's medical malpractice. These cases are complex, but they all share one thing: someone in the medical field failed to provide proper care, and a patient got hurt as a result.

The harm from medical malpractice often goes deeper than many people realize. We regularly work with clients dealing with:

When doctors miss or delay diagnoses, patients lose precious treatment time. We've seen cases where cancer spread because warning signs were ignored, or heart attacks were mistaken for indigestion. These mistakes can turn treatable conditions into life-threatening emergencies.

Surgery always carries risks, but some complications shouldn't happen at all. Operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical tools inside patients, or giving too much anesthesia – these are serious errors that often indicate negligence. The recovery from such mistakes can take months or even years.

Getting the wrong medicine or the wrong dose can be deadly. Sometimes pharmacies mix up prescriptions. Other times, doctors prescribe medications that dangerously interact with each other. These errors can cause severe reactions, organ damage, or worse.

The birth of a child should be a joyful time, but medical negligence can turn it tragic. Oxygen deprivation during delivery can cause cerebral palsy. Improper use of delivery tools can cause permanent nerve damage. These injuries often mean a lifetime of special care and medical expenses.
