Hospital negligence takes many forms, whether by doctors, nurses, technicians, administrators or other staff. As medical malpractice lawyers based in Winter Gardens, CA, we have seen victims suffer permanent damage and loss from:

• Surgical errors - punctured organs, sloppily closed incisions leading to deadly infections, wrong-site operations
• Improperly administered anesthesia or oxygen deprivation during procedures
• Medication errors like over/under dosing, failure to monitor for allergies and bad drug interactions
• Delayed or missed diagnoses leading to disease progression, metastasis or mortality
• Infant delivery errors causing oxygen deprivation, cerebral palsy, paralysis
• Inadequate infection prevention spreading dangerous bacteria inside hospitals

All of these failures, when proven to cause results like quadriplegia, severe brain damage or wrongful death should entitle patients and families to medical malpractice claims against the providers responsible. We work directly with a nationwide team of medical specialists during our investigations to pinpoint breaches of care.

In California, medical malpractice laws allow you to pursue financial damages if a healthcare provider breached their duty of care, causing substantial harm through errors or oversight. To build a successful case on your behalf and prove this in court, our Moseley Collins Law lawyers will demonstrate:

1. A provider-patient professional relationship existed
2. The medical personnel involved failed to meet established “standards of care”
3. This failure directly resulted in your worsened condition or suffering

Proving all these hinges on skilled litigation from negotiations to trial. It starts with thorough independent investigations of your doctors and hospital stay, leaving no detail overlooked when identifying how caregivers fell short. Then an exhaustive search identifies all parties liable for involvement in mistakes. This establishes a roadmap to justice.

No dollar amounts erase grave harm done or loss experienced from medical negligence. But financial compensation affords critical resources for victims facing lifelong disability and reduced capacity to:

• Fund 24/7 home healthcare with skilled nursing, therapists, modified transport, accessibility renovation, and assistive technologies
• Pay extensive medical bills from hospitalization, surgeries aimed at correcting damage by malpractice, medications and devices
• Replace lost income when unable to ever return employment
• Ease emotional suffering of victims struggling with permanent disability or families mourning preventable death

While no amount seems “enough” given the depth of devastation that medical malpractice brings, our goal is maximizing your recovery to restore stability and care at the level required. We will fight to win you full, fair justice.

When an instance of suspected medical malpractice occurs, a swift and thorough investigation is crucial to determine if negligence happened, and to build a strong case on the victim’s behalf. At our law firm, we devote extensive resources to fully investigating each malpractice claim.

The first step our lawyers take is to gather every piece of pertinent medical documentation connected to the alleged negligence. This includes:

• Hospital/clinical intake forms
• Doctor’s notes and consultation reports
• Laboratory and testing results
• Medication/prescription records
• Surgical reports
• Discharge summary from hospital stays

Our legal team meticulously reviews all records searching for substandard patient care as well as negligent oversight. We create detailed chronological timelines of treatment milestones.

In addition to the patient’s attending healthcare providers, we consult specialists in relevant fields to serve as expert witnesses. Securing impartial insight is key to demonstrating breach of standard medical protocol.

These medical professionals might examine the injured victim firsthand while also reviewing provided health records. Their findings carry significant weight for establishing medical negligence.

A doctor breaching acceptable standards alone does not guarantee a viable malpractice claim. Our lawyers must demonstrate that below-standard treatment directly caused the patient’s worsened condition or additional suffering. This legal concept is called “causation.”

Our legal team works closely with medical experts to make explicit connections between a provider’s mistakes and resulting patient harm. This evidence forms the crux of arguments should a hospital negligence case proceed to trial. It also strengthens our position during any pre-trial settlement negotiations.

In complex medical settings, responsibility for negligence is often diffuse across many staff members. We conduct exhaustive investigations to identify each and every party accountable for medical errors. This ensures the best chance at maximum compensation for catastrophically injured victims and grieving families.

Successfully proving medical malpractice hinges greatly on assembling irrefutable evidence through relentless record gathering, engaging specialists, establishing causation and pinpointing all to blame. Our lawyers apply this rigorous investigation blueprint seeking fair outcomes for harmed clients.

With extensive experience representing victims of hospital negligence, our firm’s lawyers offer knowledgeable guidance every step through investigations, negotiations, litigation and appeal if necessary. What sets us apart?

• 40+ years focused strictly on medical malpractice and serious personal injury law
• Nationwide presence with case funding to take on large healthcare networks
