When doctors or healthcare providers make mistakes, it changes lives forever. Here in Edgewood, Washington, many families struggle with the aftermath of medical errors, wondering where to turn for help. Finding the right medical malpractice lawyer can feel overwhelming, but it's a crucial step toward getting answers and fair compensation for what happened.

Medical malpractice isn't just about mistakes - it's about preventable errors that harm patients. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over 40 years helping families affected by medical negligence. We know these cases inside and out, and we understand how they impact real people in our community.

Think of it this way: when you visit a doctor or hospital, you trust them with your health and sometimes your life. When they break that trust through carelessness or poor decisions, they should be held responsible.
