Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Interlaken, CA

When doctors or healthcare providers make serious mistakes, lives change forever. Here in Interlaken, California, we've seen how medical errors can devastate families – both emotionally and financially. For over four decades, Moseley Collins Law has stood beside patients who have suffered due to medical negligence, helping them rebuild their lives and secure the support they need to move forward.

Medical malpractice happens when healthcare providers fail to deliver care that meets basic professional standards. Unlike a simple mistake or an unfortunate outcome, malpractice occurs when providers make errors that other qualified professionals would have avoided under similar circumstances.

In California, the law recognizes several key forms of medical negligence. Each case is unique, but we regularly handle cases involving:

• Mistaken or delayed diagnoses that lead to worsened conditions
• Surgical procedures performed incorrectly or on the wrong body part
• Medication errors, including wrong prescriptions or incorrect dosing
• Preventable birth injuries affecting mothers and newborns
• Mistakes with anesthesia administration
• Emergency room errors due to rushed or careless treatment
• Failure to properly inform patients about treatment risks

Our community relies on several major medical centers for care. While most provide quality treatment, errors can happen anywhere. Local facilities include:

• Watsonville Community Hospital, which serves as our primary local medical center
• Dominican Hospital, offering comprehensive care services
• Natividad Medical Center, known for its trauma services

Recent studies paint a sobering picture. Medical errors now rank as the third leading cause of death in America, according to research published in the Journal of Patient Safety. Even more concerning, the BMJ Quality & Safety journal found that doctors misdiagnose about 12 million adult patients each year in the United States.

When healthcare providers make serious mistakes, the consequences often include:

• Disabilities that change daily life forever
• Brain damage or other neurological problems
• Major organ damage requiring ongoing care
• Serious infections that should have been prevented
• Long-term pain that affects work and family life
• Emotional trauma and anxiety about medical care
• Deaths that could have been prevented
