Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Elma, WA
Getting hurt by a doctor or hospital that you trusted is one of the most difficult experiences anyone can face. Here in Elma and throughout Grays Harbor County, we've seen how medical mistakes can turn lives upside down. At Moseley Collins Law, we know what you're going through. For over 40 years, we've been helping people just like you get justice after medical negligence changed their lives.

Let's start with the basics. Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare worker makes a serious mistake that hurts a patient. We're not talking about minor issues here - we mean real harm that could have been prevented if the medical professional had done their job properly.
Common Examples of Medical MalpracticeThink about a doctor who:
- Misses obvious signs of a serious illness
- Makes mistakes during surgery
- Gives the wrong medicine or wrong dose
- Causes injuries during childbirth
- Uses medical equipment incorrectly
- Doesn't tell you about important risks before treatment
These mistakes can lead to serious problems like:
- Brain injuries that change everything about daily life
- Spine injuries that might mean never walking again
- Babies born with preventable problems
- Internal organs getting damaged
- Infections that shouldn't have happened
- Death that could have been prevented
- Permanent health issues that never go away
- Problems that keep getting worse without proper treatment
When we talk about medical care in our area, these are the main hospitals serving local residents:
Local Hospitals- Summit Pacific Medical Center right here in Elma
- Providence St. Peter Hospital down in Olympia
- Harbor Regional Health over in Aberdeen
- Mason General Hospital up in Shelton
Each of these places treats thousands of patients every year. While most get good care, mistakes do happen.
Real Numbers Tell the StoryThe facts about medical mistakes are pretty shocking:
- Johns Hopkins researchers found that medical errors kill more Americans than almost anything except heart disease and cancer
