Medical malpractice can occur in many different healthcare settings by any medical professional or staff member. Some of the most common cases we see involve:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of serious illnesses such as cancer, heart attacks, strokes, infections, etc. Failure to order appropriate tests or properly analyze test results can allow diseases to progress untreated.
• Surgical errors like operating on the wrong site, leaving surgical equipment inside patients, puncturing organs, or causing infections. Botched procedures can lead to permanent disability or death.
• Medication errors that result in patients receiving the wrong medications or dosages leading to complications.
• Birth injuries like cerebral palsy, fractures, and brachial plexus injuries caused by medical negligence during labor and delivery.
• Nursing home abuse or negligence such as bedsores, malnutrition, dehydration, falls, infections, etc.

Because medical malpractice can involve any type of healthcare provider in any setting, the injuries that result are equally wide-ranging. Some of the most severe medical malpractice injuries our Issaquah lawyers see include:

• Brain damage - Medical errors and delays in treatment can lead to lack of oxygen to the brain, resulting in cognitive deficits, paralysis, speech/communication problems, and permanent disability.
• Spinal cord injuries - Damage to the spinal cord from surgical errors, improper technique, delayed diagnosis etc. can cause paralysis, loss of sensation, impaired mobility, bowel/bladder dysfunction, and other permanent conditions.
• Amputation - Surgical mistakes and complications can sometimes require amputation of limbs when injuries or infections cannot be controlled. Amputation often leads to disability and the need for prosthetics
• Severe infections - Unsanitary conditions, equipment issues, improper wound care, missed diagnoses, and other errors can cause serious infections leading to organ damage, sepsis, and death.
• Infant injuries - When medical professionals fail to follow proper standards of care during prenatal care or delivery, babies can suffer devastating, permanent injuries like cerebral palsy, fractures, and brachial plexus (arm/shoulder nerve) damage.

While no amount of money can fully undo the damage caused by medical malpractice, financial compensation can help pay for ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, medications, in-home care, and other necessities related to the injury. The experienced medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law can help victims and their families pursue the maximum recovery.

While medical mistakes may seem obvious to injured patients, proving legally-recognized medical malpractice under Washington law still requires in-depth investigation and analysis. In general, medical malpractice plaintiffs must demonstrate:

• A provider-patient relationship existed which established a duty of care
• The defendant breached the duty of care by deviating from accepted medical standards
• The breach directly caused identifiable injuries/damages

Successfully proving medical negligence requires obtaining all pertinent medical records, consulting with independent medical experts, establishing proper standards of care, identifying how the defendant failed to meet those standards, and demonstrating how that failure directly led to the plaintiff’s injuries.

Here at Moseley Collins Law, our lawyers have the resources and medical expertise to handle every aspect of building a strong claim for compensation in medical negligence cases.

Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare professional fails to meet the accepted standard of care and causes harm to a patient as a result. This includes things like misdiagnosing or delaying diagnosis of a condition, surgical mistakes, medication errors, childbirth injuries, and more. The key is proving the doctor, nurse, or other provider acted negligently and directly caused identifiable injuries.

Our firm, like most medical malpractice lawyers, represents clients on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront legal fees or costs. We only collect if we are successful in getting compensation for your case. The fee comes out of the final settlement or award amount as a previously agreed upon percentage. This ensures affordable access to experienced counsel.

You can claim both economic and non-economic damages in these cases. Economic damages cover things like medical bills, lost income, and future care costs. Non-economic damages include payment for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disability or disfigurement, and emotional distress. For a death caused by malpractice, families can recover funeral costs and loss of consortium.

The majority of medical negligence cases settle out of court before trial. However, our firm is fully prepared to take cases to trial when necessary to obtain full and fair compensation. Our history of verdicts and settlements provides leverage in pursuing maximum recovery in or out of court. The defendant often agrees to settle when confronted with our thorough evidence.
