Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Tara Hills, CA

When medical care goes wrong, the impact on patients and their families can be devastating. In Tara Hills, California, and surrounding Contra Costa County communities, victims of medical malpractice need experienced legal representation to seek justice and compensation. At Moseley Collins Law, we bring over 40 years of experience fighting for patients harmed by medical negligence.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to deliver care that meets accepted professional standards, resulting in patient harm. In California, patients have specific rights under medical malpractice laws, including the right to seek compensation for damages caused by negligent medical care.

Medical professionals have a fundamental obligation to provide care that aligns with established medical standards. This "standard of care" represents the level of treatment that would be delivered by qualified practitioners with comparable training and expertise in similar medical situations. Healthcare providers who deviate from these accepted standards and subsequently cause patient harm may face liability for medical malpractice claims.

Medical negligence can result in severe, life-changing injuries. Common types of medical malpractice cases we handle include:

• Missed diagnoses of serious conditions
• Delayed cancer diagnosis
• Misdiagnosis leading to improper treatment
• Failure to order appropriate diagnostic tests

• Wrong-site surgery
• Surgical instruments left in patients
• Anesthesia errors
• Post-surgical infection due to negligence

• Incorrect medication prescribed
• Wrong dosage administered
• Failure to check drug interactions
• Pharmacy dispensing errors

Residents of Tara Hills have access to several medical facilities in the surrounding area:

• Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
• Kaiser Permanente Richmond Medical Center
• Alta Bates Summit Medical Center
• John Muir Medical Center - Richmond Campus

According to recent studies by Johns Hopkins Medicine, medical errors rank as the third leading cause of death in the United States. The Journal of Patient Safety estimates that preventable medical errors contribute to 210,000-440,000 deaths annually at hospitals alone.
