Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to uphold the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury, illness or death. Doctors, nurses, surgeons, dentists, therapists and other providers have a duty to treat patients responsibly without causing preventable harm. Examples of medical negligence include:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a serious condition
• Surgical mistakes and errors during procedures
• Improper medical device usage or installation
• Childbirth injuries to mother or infant
• Medication errors such as overdose or allergic reaction
• Failure to prevent infections or bedsores
• Lack of informed consent regarding risks

No doctor is perfect, and minor issues occasionally happen. But when substandard care directly leads to major injury or wrongful death, victims have legal grounds to pursue Washington medical malpractice claims seeking compensation.

An experienced Washington medical negligence lawyer can review your situation to determine if malpractice was involved. We work with independent medical experts to analyze records and provide their assessment of whether accepted standards were breached.

Some of the specific types of medical negligence cases the lawyers at Moseley Collins Law can assist with in Grandview and throughout Washington include:

Misdiagnosis/Delayed Diagnosis

Failing to promptly and correctly identify health conditions leads to delayed treatment, progressive worsening of the disease, and poorer prognosis. These mistakes are a leading source of malpractice claims.

Surgical Errors

Even routine operations require meticulous care to avoid severe injury. Surgical mistakes like operating on the wrong area of the body, leaving foreign objects inside patients after closing up, nicking blood vessels or nerves, anesthesia errors, and other negligent acts can all merit compensation through a Washington malpractice lawsuit.

Childbirth Injuries

Labor and delivery introduces many opportunities for harm to mothers and newborns when proper protocols are not followed. Birth injuries can result in long-term disabilities impacting quality of life.

Cancer Misdiagnosis

Failing to recognize early signs and symptoms of cancers or interpret diagnostic findings accurately contributes to incorrect or late-stage cancer diagnoses. This may significantly worsen outcomes and survival probabilities.

Nursing Home Abuse/Neglect

Elderly Grandview nursing home residents often depend entirely on staff to meet their basic health and safety needs. When staff fails to uphold adequate standards of care, bedsores, infections, falls, malnutrition and other entirely preventable forms of harm can result.

If you have suffered any type of medical negligence in Grandview or anywhere in Washington, the sooner you contact our firm to discuss your situation, the better. Prompt legal assistance gives you the highest chances of success pursuing compensation under Washington medical malpractice laws.
