Medical Malpractice Lawyers
People who trust their health care to doctors and nurses expect that they will make decisions in the patient’s best interest. When healthcare professionals violate that trust by causing serious injuries or death, patients deserve accountability and financial compensation. At Moseley Collins Law, our accomplished attorneys offer hope to injury victims and their families.
We focus on Santa Monica Medical Error Law Firm cases, wrongful death, insurance bad faith and other personal injury claims. Our legal team serves clients in Santa Barbara and throughout California. We have recovered millions of dollars for our clients through settlements and jury verdicts. Clients choose our firm for personal service and high-quality representation.
In a medical malpractice case, you must prove that a physician or nurse breached accepted standards of care. To demonstrate this, expert analysis of the medical records and testimony is required.
A seasoned lawyer can help you understand the circumstances surrounding your medical malpractice claim and identify the evidence needed to prove it. A lawyer can also negotiate with your healthcare provider or hospital to reach a mutually acceptable settlement without going to trial.
If you suspect that you or a loved one has suffered injuries from medical negligence, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Under the law, you have only one year to file a lawsuit and preserve your rights to recover damages for your losses. Our lawyers are familiar with the state statutes that govern the timeline for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit in California.
You may file a medical malpractice claim against surgeons, anesthesiologists, ER doctors, radiologists, obstetricians, nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, and technicians. Hospital management staff may also be held liable for hospital negligence. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can help you determine which parties to sue and whether their actions constituted negligence or breached the standard of care.
Proving medical malpractice is difficult due to the highly specialized knowledge that doctors have and the complex nature of their jobs. A skilled lawyer can gather the relevant evidence and present it in a clear, compelling manner to the jury. A lawyer can also assist with navigating the medical record review process to ensure that your rights are protected.
Medical malpractice claims often involve complicated legal issues and lengthy investigations. As a result, they can take 12-36 months to resolve through settlement or trial verdict. Our attorneys prioritize our clients’ best long-term interests. We do not rush them into premature resolutions that benefit the defense and do not address their full range of losses.
