Medical malpractice claims require complex and extensive legal, scientific and medical knowledge to pursue. A San Francisco County Medical Error Lawyer who knows how to gather and interpret medical records quickly, efficiently and correctly can help you win the maximum compensation for your injury.
Medical errors cause over 250,000 deaths each year in the United States. In addition to death, medical negligence can also cause permanent disability, severe pain and other serious injuries. The dedicated California medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law have over 40 years of experience holding doctors, nurses, hospitals and other healthcare providers accountable when they breach the standard of care. We have successfully won millions for past clients through negotiations, settlements and jury verdicts.
We regularly bring in dozens of top-notch medical experts on each case to ensure we have the most thorough understanding of a client’s medical condition. The best medical malpractice lawyers have cultivated relationships with specialists in every field of medicine and health care.
Our attorneys have won numerous multimillion-dollar settlements against some of the largest Bay Area hospital and physician medical groups, including Sutter Health, California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC), Dignity Health, Stanford University, UCSF and Kaiser Permanente. We have proven success bringing justice to victims of surgical mistakes, birth injuries and other debilitating conditions resulting from the negligent actions of physicians, nurses and other healthcare workers.
For example, in a claim against Kaiser Permanente, our San Francisco County Medical Error Compensation showed that an advice nurse system was flawed and dangerous. This system allowed patients to call in and speak with nurses who often did not communicate the patient’s full medical history to her doctor. This resulted in a woman dying after an untreated infection she developed after her messages were not passed to her doctor by Kaiser.
Surgeries carried out poorly compromise all patients’ hopes of fighting aggressive diseases or recovering from traumatic injuries curable through properly performed procedures. These life-changing mistakes violate established standards of care and result in lasting disabilities and suffering for patients and their families.
When doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals fail to follow accepted medical guidelines, patients’ lives are put at risk. If you have been harmed by the negligent actions of a physician or other healthcare professional, contact a qualified California medical malpractice attorney right away.
Currently, the cap for noneconomic damages in California is $250,000 per victim for medical malpractice resulting in injury or death. However, this amount is scheduled to rise over the next decade. In 2023, the limit will be $750,000 for nonfatal cases and $500,000 for fatal cases resulting from a doctor’s medical malpractice.
In the end, no amount of money can replace the loss of a loved one or the disfigurement and lifelong hardships caused by preventable medical errors. However, the fact that you can hold a responsible party for their reckless conduct is a significant step toward justice. The attorneys at the Moseley Collins Law Firm can help you understand your options and obtain the compensation you deserve.
