Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Canterwood, WA

When doctors make mistakes, lives change forever. Here in Canterwood and across Pierce County, people who've been hurt by medical errors need someone in their corner. That's where Moseley Collins Law steps in. For over 40 years, we've been helping patients pick up the pieces after medical care goes wrong.

Simply put, medical malpractice happens when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare workers make mistakes that hurt their patients. Maybe they missed something obvious on an X-ray. Maybe they gave the wrong medicine. Or maybe they rushed through a surgery. Whatever happened, if they didn't give you the kind of care that any reasonable healthcare worker would have given, that's medical malpractice.

We've helped hundreds of patients deal with all kinds of medical errors, including:

• Operations done on the wrong body part
• Missed cancer diagnoses
• Medicine mix-ups
• Injuries during childbirth
• Problems with anesthesia
• Emergency room mistakes
• Doctors not explaining risks
• Infections from unclean hospital conditions

If you've been treated at any of these local hospitals, we can help:

• St. Anthony Hospital - Right here in Gig Harbor, providing emergency and general care
• MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital - A major regional medical center
• St. Joseph Medical Center - Serving Pierce County residents

The damage from medical mistakes goes way beyond just physical pain:

• Not being able to work anymore
• Brain injuries that change everything
• Nerve damage that never goes away
• Major organ problems
• Death
• Paralysis
• Pain that doesn't stop
• Scars and permanent changes to your body

• Doctor visits that never seem to end
• Can't work or earn money anymore
• Endless physical therapy
• Depression and anxiety
• Life just isn't the same
• Family relationships suffer

The facts about medical errors are pretty scary:

• More people die from medical mistakes than from most diseases
• About 250,000 families lose someone every year because of medical errors
• Around 4,000 people get hurt during surgery each year
