Have you or someone you love suffered catastrophic injury, permanent disability, or even death due to preventable medical errors in Lake Stevens or Snohomish County, WA? Seeking justice against healthcare providers that breach reasonable standards of care is difficult but essential. If misdiagnoses, surgical mistakes, medication errors, childbirth injuries or negligence harmed you, the accomplished medical malpractice lawyers at Moseley Collins Law can help.

For over 40 years, our lawyers have fought for injured victims when medical negligence caused devastating, lasting damages. We are committed to holding healthcare professionals fully accountable if errors, inattention or negligence resulted in significant injury or loss of life.

Lake Stevens sits along the shores of the lake bearing its name in Snohomish County, Washington around 30 miles northeast of Seattle. This quickly growing suburban city with a population exceeding 33,000 relies economically on aerospace manufacturing as well as retail and healthcare services.

Some of the main medical facilities serving Lake Stevens patients include:

Providence Regional Medical Center Everett - Part of the major Providence health network, this full-service hospital provides advanced emergency medicine, cancer care, heart and vascular, trauma services and more.

The Everett Clinic - One of the largest independent physician-owned multi-specialty clinics in the Pacific Northwest with over 300 healthcare providers across 30+ specialties serving patients at various office sites.

Cascade Valley Hospital - This nonprofit community hospital provides comprehensive diagnostic, surgical, rehab and other specialty services to residents across north Snohomish County.

Community Health Center of Snohomish County - With a site in Lake Stevens, CHCS offers affordable primary medical, dental and behavioral healthcare services on an income-based sliding fee scale.

While most doctors, nurses and other medical staff provide attentive, lifesaving care daily, the intricate nature of medicine means errors still happen and harm too many innocent patients when reasonable standards of care go ignored.

Some examples of potentially devastating yet avoidable medical errors that commonly prompt malpractice lawsuits include:

• Failure to diagnose serious illness - Spotting and promptly treating grave conditions like cancer, infections, aneurysms or strokes leads to vastly better prognoses. Delayed or inaccurate diagnoses rob patients of precious treatment time.
• Surgical mistakes - From operating on the wrong body part to leaving sponges or instruments inside patients after surgery to puncturing organs during procedures, surgical errors often cause lasting harm.
• Medication errors - Giving or prescribing the incorrect drug or dosage as well as failing to account for pharmaceutical contraindications constitutes negligence with dangerous effects.
• Anesthesia mistakes - Improper administration of anesthesia such as incorrect dosing or failing to appropriately monitor patients during surgery may cause brain damage, organ failure or even death.
• Childbirth injuries - Preventable mistakes during labor and delivery, like inadequate fetal monitoring or failure to perform emergency C-sections, can leave newborns with lifelong disabilities.
• Infection transmission - Patients stricken with serious infections due to unsterile equipment, sloppy protocols or poor facility hygiene may endure lasting illnesses or injuries.
• Nursing home abuse or neglect - Inadequate staffing, oversight and daily living assistance leads vulnerable elderly residents to suffer illness advancement, bedsores, falls, malnutrition and sometimes abuse.

While no medical facility intends harm, our litigation experience shows too often systemic failures, isolated negligence and profit-driven decisions result in enduring, avoidable suffering for unsuspecting patients. Securing experienced counsel levels the playing field when battling well-funded healthcare systems and insurance carriers in pursuit of justice.

Like any negligence claim, demonstrating medical malpractice liability under Washington law fundamentally requires:

• Establishing a provider-patient relationship and associated duty of care
• Proving through documentation and medical experts that the provider's actions breached this duty
• Showing this breach represents failure to meet accepted medical standards
• Linking the subpar care directly to causing further patient harm like advancement of illnesses, disability or death

Building a compelling argument attributing victims' suffering directly to providers' errors necessitates legal and medical experts thoroughly reviewing events and records. Our exclusive background handling medical negligence cases provides the insight to fully investigate what transpired and construct forceful liability claims.

Under Washington medical malpractice law, when healthcare professionals fail meeting locally accepted standards of care - whether through inaccurate diagnoses, surgical mistakes, medication errors or negligence in any capacity - directly causing patient injury, disability or death, valid grounds exist for a claim.

To demonstrate valid justification for a Lake Stevens medical malpractice claim, injured patients must conclusively establish that (1) a provider-patient duty of care existed, (2) this duty was breached through substandard treatment, and (3) the breach directly caused further patient harm or damages like advancement of illness, disability or death. Thorough investigation by an experienced medical malpractice legal team would determine if reasonable grounds exist.

If negligence is irrefutably established, available compensation under Washington law may encompass past and future accident-related medical bills, rehabilitation costs, income lost from missed work, reduced future earnings, coverage for pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, loss of spousal consortium and in fatal cases, wrongful death benefits like funeral costs and loss of companionship damages for grieving loved ones.

Our firm represents all medical malpractice clients exclusively on a contingency fee basis - meaning no upfront costs for retained legal services. We advance all case costs necessary to pursue claims as an investment and collect payment only if we successfully resolve your case through settlement or trial. You pay nothing from your own pocket.
