Medical Malpractice Lawyer in University City, CA

When a doctor's mistake changes your life, you need someone who understands both medicine and law on your side. Here in University City, California, our team at Moseley Collins Law helps patients and families affected by medical negligence find their path to justice. For over 40 years, we've worked to hold healthcare providers accountable when their care falls short of acceptable standards.

Medical malpractice isn't just about a treatment that didn't work as hoped. It occurs when healthcare providers fail to deliver care that meets established medical standards, leading to patient harm. These cases are complex, requiring deep knowledge of both healthcare practices and California law.

Surgery carries inherent risks, but some errors should never happen. Our firm regularly handles cases involving surgical instruments left behind during procedures, operations performed on the wrong body part, and serious complications from anesthesia errors. These mistakes often lead to additional surgeries, extended recovery times, and sometimes permanent disability.

When doctors overlook clear symptoms or fail to order appropriate tests, patients suffer. A missed cancer diagnosis, for example, can mean the difference between successful treatment and terminal illness.

Prescription errors happen more often than most people realize. Whether it's a doctor prescribing the wrong medicine, a nurse administering the wrong dose, or a pharmacist mixing up prescriptions, these mistakes can cause severe harm. Many patients face extended hospital stays, new health problems, or worse because of preventable medication errors.

The birth of a child should be a joyous occasion, but medical negligence can turn it into a tragedy. We work with families whose children have suffered brain damage, nerve injuries, or other serious harm during delivery. These cases often involve lifetime care needs and require careful planning for the child's future.
