Life changes dramatically when medical care goes wrong. Whether it's a surgical mistake, wrong diagnosis, or medication error, the impact on your life can be overwhelming. Here in Airway Heights, Washington, our neighbors face these challenges too. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over 40 years helping people just like you make sense of what went wrong and find a path forward.
What Counts as Medical Malpractice in Washington?When doctors, nurses, or other healthcare workers make mistakes that hurt patients, that's medical malpractice. Washington law protects patients, but these cases can be tricky. Think of it this way - not every bad medical outcome is malpractice, but when healthcare providers don't follow standard safety rules and someone gets hurt, that's when you need a medical malpractice lawyer.
Common Ways Medical Care Goes WrongWe've seen all kinds of medical mistakes in our years of practice. Here are some common problems:
- Surgery on the wrong body part or wrong patient
- Missed cancer diagnosis or late diagnosis of serious illness
- Wrong medicine or wrong dose given
- Injuries to babies during birth
- Problems with anesthesia during surgery
- Infections that shouldn't have happened
- Mistakes in the emergency room
- Mix-ups with lab tests
- Wrong reading of X-rays or scans
Our community has several hospitals where people get care:
- Providence Holy Family Hospital: General medical and surgical care
- MultiCare Deaconess Hospital: Full-service medical center
- Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center: Veterans' healthcare
We don't just look at medical records and file paperwork. We dig deep to find out what really happened.
