Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Burlington, WA

When doctors or healthcare providers make mistakes, the consequences can turn your life upside down. Here in Burlington, Washington, we understand how overwhelming it feels to deal with injuries caused by medical errors. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over 40 years helping people just like you get back on their feet after medical mistakes have caused harm.

Sometimes things go wrong in medical care, but not every bad outcome is malpractice. Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare worker doesn't follow standard medical practices, and their mistake hurts the patient. Think of it like this - if another reasonable doctor would have done things differently and avoided the injury, it might be malpractice.

We've helped many Burlington families deal with different types of medical errors, including:

• Operations done on the wrong body part or wrong patient
• Getting the wrong medicine or wrong dose
• Doctors missing serious health problems or taking too long to diagnose them
• Babies getting hurt during birth
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Infections that could have been prevented
• Mistakes in the emergency room when things are hectic
• Doctors not explaining the risks before treatment

Our community relies on several local hospitals and clinics for care. While most provide good service, problems can happen at any facility:

• PeaceHealth United General Medical Center - Serving our community with emergency and general medical care
• Skagit Valley Hospital - A major healthcare provider in our region
• Island Hospital - Providing care to Burlington area residents
• North Cascade Cardiology - Specializing in heart care

When someone comes to us worried about a medical error, we don't just take their word for it - we dig deep. We work with different kinds of doctors who specialize in reviewing medical records. They help us understand if something went wrong and what should have been done differently. Sometimes we need several experts to look at a case because modern medicine can be complicated.

We'll sit down with you at no cost to hear what happened and help figure out if you might have a case. While we can't give legal advice unless we represent you, we can point you in the right direction - even if we end up not being the right lawyers for your situation.
