Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Algona, WA
When doctors, nurses, or other healthcare workers make mistakes, the impact on patients and their families can be life-changing. Here in Algona, Washington, our community deserves quality medical care, but sometimes things go wrong. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over 40 years helping people who've been hurt by medical mistakes get back on their feet.
Medical malpractice happens when healthcare providers don't follow standard medical practices, and someone gets hurt as a result. Think of it like this: if a reasonable doctor would have done something differently in the same situation, and that difference would have prevented harm, you might have a case.
