Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Los Altos Hills, CA

When you or a loved one suffers harm due to medical mistakes, the road to recovery can feel overwhelming. Here in Los Altos Hills, California, our community deserves strong legal support when healthcare providers fail to meet accepted standards of care. The team at Moseley Collins Law understands what you're going through and has spent over four decades helping patients rebuild their lives after medical negligence.

Not every unfortunate medical outcome qualifies as malpractice. However, when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare providers give care that falls below professional standards and causes harm, patients have the right to seek compensation. In Los Altos Hills and throughout California, we've seen how these cases deeply affect families - both emotionally and financially.

Getting the right diagnosis at the right time can mean the difference between life and death. When doctors miss crucial symptoms or delay proper testing, serious conditions like cancer or heart disease can worsen beyond repair. We regularly help patients whose lives changed because someone missed the warning signs they should have caught.

Even routine surgeries can go terribly wrong when surgical teams make preventable mistakes. We've helped patients cope with the aftermath of:

• Operations on the wrong body part
• Dangerous anesthesia errors
• Severe infections from unsterile conditions
• Tools left inside patients
• Permanent nerve injuries

One wrong prescription can have devastating effects. Our team has extensive experience with cases involving:

• Medications given at dangerous doses
• Wrong drugs prescribed
• Harmful combinations of medicines
• Ignored allergy warnings

Los Altos Hills residents typically get their medical care at these nearby facilities:

• Stanford Health Care: A leading academic medical center
• El Camino Hospital - Mountain View: Serving our community since 1961
• Kaiser Permanente Mountain View Medical Center: A major regional provider

Recent research paints a concerning picture. Johns Hopkins Medicine found that medical mistakes rank as the third most common cause of death in America. Even more troubling, the Journal of Patient Safety reports that about one in every 20 patients suffers serious preventable harm during medical care.
