Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Goldendale, WA

When things go wrong during medical care, the effects can turn your life upside down. Here in Goldendale, Washington, our team at Moseley Collins Law sees it happen far too often - regular people like you dealing with life-changing injuries because someone they trusted made a serious mistake. For over 40 years, we've stood beside families just like yours, helping them get back on their feet after medical errors changed their lives.

Think of medical malpractice as a broken promise. When doctors, nurses, or hospitals don't give you the care you should reasonably expect, and you get hurt as a result - that's medical malpractice. Here in Klickitat County, we've seen how these mistakes can affect entire families, not just the person who got hurt.

Goldendale residents rely on several hospitals and medical centers for their care:

• Klickitat Valley Health - Our local hospital right here in Goldendale
• Skyline Hospital - Just down the road in White Salmon
• Mid-Columbia Medical Center - Many of our neighbors head to The Dalles, OR
• Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital - Serving many local families

Each of these facilities should provide quality care, but sometimes things go wrong. When they do, you need someone in your corner who understands both medicine and the law.

Medical malpractice isn't just about paperwork and legal terms - it's about real people getting hurt. Here's what we often see:

• Surgeons operating on the wrong body part or leaving tools inside patients
• Mix-ups with medications that cause serious reactions
• Doctors missing obvious signs of cancer or heart disease
• Babies injured during birth because someone acted too late
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Infections that spread because of unclean hospital conditions
• Emergency rooms sending home patients having heart attacks
• Treatments that got delayed until it was too late to help

The numbers paint a scary picture. Johns Hopkins - one of America's top hospitals - found that medical mistakes kill more people than most diseases. Another study in the Journal of Patient Safety showed that somewhere between 210,000 and 440,000 people die each year because of preventable medical errors. That's like losing the entire population of Klickitat County many times over.

At Moseley Collins Law, we break down complicated medical cases into steps that make sense:

• First, we sit down with you (free of charge) to hear what happened
• We gather every medical record and document about your care
• We handle all the back-and-forth with insurance companies

Winning these cases isn't simple, but we know what it takes. You need to show:

1. You were actually a patient of the doctor or hospital
2. Someone on your medical team messed up
3. That mistake caused you harm
4. You've had real losses because of it

Think of evidence as pieces of a puzzle. We need:

• Every single medical record from before and after the mistake
• People who saw how the injury changed your life
• All your medical bills and receipts
• Papers showing lost wages and time off work
• Daily notes about your pain and struggles

Medical malpractice doesn't just hurt your body - it hits your wallet too. We fight for money to cover:

• Doctor bills you've already paid
• Medical care you'll need down the road
• Paychecks you've missed
• Work you won't be able to do in the future
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Help you need at home
• The pain and suffering you've been through
