Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Birch Bay, WA

When a doctor's mistake changes your life, you need someone who understands both the medical and legal sides of your case. Here in Birch Bay, Washington, our team at Moseley Collins Law sees the real impact of medical errors on families every day. For over 40 years, we've been standing up for patients who've been hurt by healthcare mistakes, helping them get back on their feet and move forward with their lives.

Think of medical malpractice like this: when you go to a doctor or hospital, you expect a certain level of care. When that care falls short of what any reasonable healthcare provider would do, and you get hurt as a result, that's medical malpractice. It's not always straightforward, which is why having a lawyer who knows both medicine and law makes such a difference.

We've helped people with all kinds of medical mistakes, including:

• Operations that went wrong
• Doctors missing or delaying important diagnoses
• Mix-ups with medications
• Injuries to babies during birth
• Mistakes in the emergency room
• Problems with anesthesia
• Infections picked up in hospitals
• Doctors not explaining risks before treatment

If you're in Birch Bay, you might be familiar with these healthcare facilities:

• PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center: A major hospital serving our community
• Northwest Behavioral Healthcare: Specializing in mental health services
• St. Luke's Community Healthcare: Providing general medical care
• Unity Care NW: Offering various health services

Let's be clear about something: medical errors are more common than most people think. Johns Hopkins researchers found they're actually the third biggest cause of death in our country. When these mistakes happen, they can lead to:

• Disabilities that last a lifetime
• Damage to your brain or organs
• Health problems getting worse instead of better
• Surgeries you didn't really need
• Pain that doesn't go away
• Emotional scars that take time to heal
• In the worst cases, loss of life

When you work with us, here's what we do:

We don't just take the hospital's word for it. We bring in multiple experts from different specialties to look at what happened. They check every detail in your medical records to find where things went wrong.

Our approach includes:

• Getting copies of every medical record
• Finding and interviewing people who saw what happened
• Looking at the hospital's own rules and procedures
• Checking similar cases
• Putting together solid proof of mistakes
