Our deep understanding of both the local healthcare landscape and California's intricate medical malpractice legislation enables us to provide comprehensive legal representation. We focus on helping our clients navigate the complex process of seeking compensation while working toward rebuilding their lives after medical errors.

Medical malpractice happens when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare providers make preventable mistakes that harm patients. These cases are often complex, especially in smaller communities like Hilmar-Irwin. Each case requires careful investigation to show exactly how the healthcare provider failed to meet basic standards of medical care.

California sets strict deadlines for filing medical malpractice claims. Missing these deadlines can mean losing your right to seek compensation, no matter how serious the medical error. That's why talking to a lawyer early matters. At Moseley Collins Law, we help you understand these deadlines and make sure your case stays on track.

Healthcare providers can make different kinds of mistakes that seriously harm patients. Here are some common problems we see:

Many things can go wrong in the operating room. Surgeons sometimes operate on the wrong body part, leave surgical tools inside patients, give too much or too little anesthesia, or don't prevent dangerous infections.

When doctors miss signs of serious illness or mistake one condition for another, patients lose precious time for treatment. This happens too often with cancer, heart problems, and other dangerous conditions that need quick treatment.

Getting the wrong medicine or wrong dose can cause serious harm. Sometimes pharmacists mix up prescriptions, doctors prescribe drugs that interact badly with other medications, or nurses give the wrong dose. These mistakes can cause lasting damage.
