When doctors make mistakes, lives change forever. Here in Wilton, California, our community has seen how medical errors can devastate families. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over 40 years standing up for patients who've been hurt by healthcare mistakes. We know the challenges you're facing, and we're here to help you understand your rights and options.

Medical malpractice happens when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare workers make mistakes that harm their patients. These cases often involve actions that fall below what we expect from qualified medical professionals. California law protects patients in these situations, but there are specific rules about when and how you can file a claim. We've helped many families in Wilton navigate these complex laws.

In our decades of practice, we've helped people dealing with many different kinds of medical mistakes. Here are some of the most serious cases we handle:

Sometimes surgeons operate on the wrong body part or leave medical tools inside patients. We've also seen cases where anesthesia wasn't handled properly, causing severe harm. After surgery, some patients get dangerous infections because proper cleaning procedures weren't followed.

Cancer that isn't caught early enough can spread. Heart attacks get mistaken for indigestion. Important medical tests don't get ordered. These mistakes can turn treatable conditions into life-threatening emergencies.

Doctors sometimes prescribe the wrong medicine or the wrong amount. Pharmacists might fill prescriptions incorrectly. These errors can cause serious reactions, especially when different medicines interact badly with each other.

Our community relies on several major hospitals. While these facilities generally provide good care, mistakes can happen anywhere:

• Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento Medical Center
• Mercy Hospital of Folsom
• Methodist Hospital of Sacramento

Recent studies paint a troubling picture. Johns Hopkins researchers found that medical errors are now the third leading cause of death in America, causing about 250,000 deaths each year. The Journal of Patient Safety estimates that serious injuries from medical mistakes affect as many as 4 million patients annually. These aren't just numbers – they represent real families whose lives have changed because of medical errors.
