How Surgical Errors Destroy Patients’ Lives

Surgeries carried out poorly compromise all Santa Clarita patients hopes to fight aggressive diseases or traumatic injuries curable through properly executed procedures. Botched surgeries often cause lasting disabilities or disfigurement negatively impacting victims' mobility, vitality, and self-image for life.

Far too frequently, we encounter severely injured clients facing bleak outcomes after preventable surgery room errors including:

  • Operating on incorrect limbs or organs
  • Uncontrolled surgical bleeding triggering further complications
  • Improper anesthesia dosing leads to hypoxic brain damage
  • Retained foreign objects left inside surgical sites
  • Failure to promptly recognize surgical infections spreading

Such fundamental surgery failures breach established standards of safety and care when leading to ongoing, irreversible patient suffering. By accepting surgical cases without question and failing to perform due diligence upholding ethical protocols, preventable mistakes pass silently while patients' well-being hangs in the balance. Accountability provides the only path to closure.

The Initial Medical Malpractice Case Review - What to Expect

Succeeding with a medical negligence claim starts with an extensive review of what specifically went wrong. Moseley Collins Law conducts rigorous initial case investigations when representing victims of medical error. We gather and examine:

  • Your complete medical records - charts, lab results, doctors' notes
  • Statements from witnesses, family members, and friends
  • Billing information revealing exact services rendered
  • Photos or videos documenting injuries when applicable
  • Expert opinions from specialists in relevant medical fields

Our legal team consults with seasoned medical experts from across the country to have your records thoroughly assessed by professionals. We typically seek evaluations from four or more specialists certified in emergency medicine, surgery, anesthesia, nursing care or other relevant disciplines depending on the circumstances of your case. Their objective input is crucial for identifying negligent actions that breach standards of care and cause grievous harm.

Armed with definitive evidence of malpractice, we demand accountability and negotiate assertively with hospitals, doctors and insurance carriers. Our goal is to obtain the maximum amount of financial damages you are entitled to for:

  • Past & future medical bills
  • Lost income
  • Cost of rehabilitation, therapies & equipment
  • Pain, suffering & emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

If fair compensation is not offered voluntarily, we prepare to take the case to court where we systematically dismantle common defense strategies and never hesitate to confront unscrupulous institutions trying to cover up mistakes. Our track record shows we are fully capable of winning seven and eight-figure jury verdicts - but we also understand the toll trials take and often guide clients toward satisfactory pre-trial settlements once the strength of evidence is proven. Every situation is different, so we lay out all options and help determine the wisest path forward.
