Suffering avoidable harm at a hospital, doctor’s office or medical facility can derail lives in an instant.

An experienced medical malpractice lawyer serving Lewis County can help injured patients and grieving families understand their legal options during an incredibly difficult time.

For over 40 years, the lawyers at Moseley Collins Law have fought for victims of medical negligence. If you or someone you love has endured life-changing injuries or even death due to subpar medical care in Lewis County, please reach out to our firm. We offer free consultations as well as home and hospital visits to provide legal guidance when it is needed most.

Medical malpractice occurs when healthcare professionals fail to meet accepted standards of reasonable care. Doctors, nurses, dentists, therapists and other licensed providers must exercise an appropriate level of skill and diligence based on their training to keep patients safe from needless harm.

Some examples of medical negligence in Lewis County may include:

• Misdiagnosis: Failing to detect cancer, infections, blood clots or other dangerous conditions
• Surgical errors: Operating on the wrong site, leaving foreign objects inside patients after surgery
• Medication mistakes: Administering the wrong drug or dosage resulting in complications
• Childbirth injuries: Brain damage or physical disability to infants due to preventable errors
• Nursing home abuse: Bedsores, dehydration, excessive sedation, emotional abuse, general neglect

No family deserves seeing their loved one irreparably hurt because proper medical care wasn’t delivered. When such incidents sadly occur, an experienced medical malpractice lawyer can help patients get accountability and fair financial recovery under Washington laws.

In order to prevail with a medical negligence lawsuit, state laws require victims to definitively prove:

1. A direct doctor-patient relationship existed. This establishes a duty of care owed by the provider based on acceptable standards for the medical profession. Doctors must deliver the same level of care any reasonable peer would under identical circumstances.
2. Through a negligent act or failure to act appropriately, the provider breached his/her duty to the patient. Expert testimony is typically required to establish precisely how standards were violated.
3. Breaches in the medical standard of care directly caused the patient’s subsequent injuries and complications. Causation must be made absolutely clear.
4. As a result of the medical negligence, the patient suffered tangible damages like additional health care costs, lost income, disability, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life etc. All losses must be thoroughly calculated and supported using evidence.

We fight passionately until securing a fair financial recovery that provides long-term stability for those irreparably harmed by medical negligence in Lewis County. Because we work on a contingency basis, no legal fees are owed unless our team wins damages for your unique situation.

All sorts of errors like surgical mistakes, failure to diagnose illnesses, medication errors, childbirth injuries, and nursing home abuse/neglect. Basically if providers fail to meet reasonable professional standards and harm patients, malpractice may have occurred.

You’ll need an experienced lawyer to gather all medical records, consult with independent experts to identify breaches in proper care, establish a link between negligence and injury, and quantify all financial/emotional losses. It takes strategic legal guidance.

You may receive compensation for additional medical costs, income loss, reduced future earnings, rehabilitation programs, at-home care expenses, medical equipment, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship. For fatal negligence, families may claim wrongful death damages.

Actually, no! Our firm works on a contingency fee basis meaning we only get paid if money is recovered for you. And we front all lawsuit costs rather than burdening the injured client. This gives people access to our lawyers they may otherwise not afford.
