Medical errors come in many forms, some with truly catastrophic consequences. At Moseley Collins Law, we have extensive experience handling malpractice claims involving:

• Surgical errors - Mistakes made during surgery can damage organs and tissues, causing severe infections, paralysis, permanent disability or death.
• Misdiagnosis/delayed diagnosis - Failing to promptly and correctly diagnose health conditions gives the disease time to progress, putting patients at further risk.
• Childbirth injuries - Mistakes during labor or delivery, such as improper use of forceps, can inflict devastating brain damage on the baby.
• Medication errors - Prescribing or administering the wrong drug or dosage can result in painful side effects, organ failure, coma or death.
• Anesthesia errors - Poorly monitored anesthesia can lead to cardiac arrest, permanent brain damage or even wrongful death.
• Nursing home abuse - Neglect of nursing home residents, such as failure to prevent pressure ulcers (bedsores) can drastically impact quality of life.
