Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Bethel, WA

When doctors make mistakes, lives change forever. Here in Bethel, Washington, our neighbors come to us with stories of surgeries gone wrong, missed diagnoses, and medication errors that turned their world upside down. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over 40 years standing up for people just like you who've been hurt by medical negligence.

Think of medical malpractice as a break in trust between you and your healthcare provider. It happens when a doctor, nurse, or hospital doesn't give you the proper care you deserve, and you get hurt because of it. Here in Washington State, we need to show that your healthcare provider didn't meet basic medical standards and that their mistake directly caused your injury.

We've seen all kinds of medical mistakes in our years of practice:

• Operations performed on the wrong body part
• Doctors missing obvious signs of serious illness
• Giving patients the wrong medicine or wrong dose
• Babies getting hurt during delivery
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Emergency rooms sending sick people home
• Mix-ups with lab results
• Doctors not telling patients about treatment risks

If you're in Bethel, you might have been treated at one of these facilities:

• MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital

To win a medical malpractice case, we need to prove four main things:

1. You were actually a patient of the doctor or hospital
2. They made a serious mistake in your care
3. That mistake caused you harm
4. You suffered real damages (medical bills, lost work, pain)

• Money to pay your medical bills (now and in the future)
• Pay for work you missed
• Help with pain and suffering
• Costs of rehabilitation
• Long-term care if you need it
• Help when your quality of life has changed

Medical malpractice cases aren't like other injury cases. They're more complex because:

• There's lots of medical terminology to understand
• We need to know how treatments should work
• Medical experts have to testify
• Medical records are complicated
• Healthcare laws keep changing

These cases aren't like car accidents or slip-and-falls. They're more complicated because:

• Doctors often won't admit mistakes
• Hospitals have big legal teams
• Medical records can be hard to understand
• You need expert witnesses to prove what went wrong
