Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Yreka, CA

When something goes wrong during medical treatment in Yreka or other parts of Siskiyou County, the effects can turn your life upside down. Beyond the physical pain and emotional stress, you may face mounting medical bills, lost work time, and uncertainty about your future. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over 40 years helping people just like you who have been harmed by medical mistakes. Our team knows the challenges you're facing, and we're here to help you understand your rights and options.

When doctors, nurses, or other healthcare providers make preventable mistakes that harm patients, that's when medical malpractice may have occurred. In Yreka and throughout California, proving medical malpractice requires showing that your healthcare provider failed to meet basic standards of medical care.

Think of it this way - if another reasonably skilled doctor would have acted differently in the same situation and prevented your injury, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice case. Our experience handling these cases means we know what to look for and how to prove when standards of care weren't met.

People in Yreka and surrounding areas receive care at several local medical facilities. The main hospitals serving our community include:

• Fairchild Medical Center - Yreka's primary hospital providing emergency and general medical care
• Mercy Medical Center Mount Shasta - Offering both inpatient and outpatient services
• Shasta Regional Medical Center - Providing specialized care for more complex conditions

Medical malpractice can take many forms. Here are some of the most common problems we see:

When surgery goes wrong, the consequences can be severe. We often see cases involving:

• Operations on the wrong body part
• Medical tools left inside patients
• Problems with anesthesia
• Infections after surgery that weren't properly prevented or treated

Sometimes the biggest mistake is what doctors fail to notice:

• Cancer that should have been caught earlier
• Heart attacks mistaken for less serious conditions
• Important test results that were overlooked
• Warning signs that weren't taken seriously

Errors with medication happen more often than you might think:

• Getting the wrong dose
• Being prescribed medications that don't mix well
• Receiving someone else's medicine
• Mistakes in how drugs are given
