Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Bridgeport, WA

When something goes wrong during medical care, it can turn your whole world upside down. Here in Bridgeport, Washington, we understand that dealing with injuries from medical mistakes is overwhelming - not just for you, but for your entire family. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over four decades standing up for people just like you who have been hurt by healthcare mistakes. We know the local medical system, the laws that protect you, and most importantly, how to help you get back on your feet.

Not every bad medical outcome is malpractice - sometimes complications happen even with the best care. But when doctors, nurses, or hospitals make preventable mistakes that harm patients, that's different. Maybe a doctor missed obvious symptoms, a nurse gave the wrong medication, or a surgeon made a serious error. These kinds of preventable mistakes can be medical malpractice.

Medical malpractice comes in many forms. Here are some of the most common problems we handle:

• Surgeons operating on the wrong body part or leaving instruments inside patients
• Doctors missing cancer or other serious illnesses that should have been caught earlier
• Injuries to babies during pregnancy or delivery
• Giving patients the wrong medications or wrong doses
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Infections that spread because of poor hospital cleaning
• Treatments that were completely wrong for the patient's condition
• Mistakes in emergency rooms when things are hectic

When looking at medical care options in our area, these are the main hospitals serving Bridgeport residents:
