Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Hobart, WA

When a doctor's mistake turns your life upside down, you need someone who understands both the medical and legal sides of your situation. Here in Hobart, Washington, our team at Moseley Collins Law has spent over four decades helping people just like you who have been hurt by medical errors. We know how overwhelming it feels to deal with unexpected health problems caused by the very people you trusted to make you better.

You might be wondering if what happened to you counts as medical malpractice. Simply put, it's when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare worker makes a mistake that a reasonably careful professional wouldn't make - and that mistake hurts you. These cases aren't simple, and that's why having a lawyer who knows both medicine and law matters so much.

The sad truth is that medical mistakes happen more often than most people realize. Here are some of the most common problems we help with:

• Surgeons operating on the wrong body part or leaving tools inside patients
• Doctors giving the wrong medicine or the wrong amount
• Missing obvious signs of serious illnesses like cancer or heart problems
• Mistakes during childbirth that hurt mother or baby
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Infections that patients get while in the hospital
• Rushed decisions in emergency rooms that lead to bigger problems
• Doctors not telling patients about important risks before treatment

• MultiCare Valley Hospital - Serving the broader valley community
• Overlake Medical Center - Known for specialty care
• Swedish Medical Center - Issaquah - A major regional facility
• St. Francis Hospital - Providing emergency and routine care
• Valley Medical Center - Offering comprehensive medical services

Let's look at what research tells us about medical mistakes:

• Medical errors kill more Americans than everything except heart disease and cancer
• About one in every ten hospital patients faces some kind of medical mistake
• Each year, thousands of people get hurt during surgery because of preventable errors

When you come to us, here's what happens:

• We start by listening to your story - really listening
• Our team digs deep into your medical records
• You don't pay anything for our first meeting
• We look for every single mistake that was made
• We fight to get you enough money to cover all your needs

We don't just take the hospital's word for what went wrong. We bring in our own medical experts - sometimes several of them - to look at your case from every angle. They help us understand exactly what went wrong and why it shouldn't have happened.

If something feels wrong about your medical care, don't wait to get help. Washington has strict deadlines for these cases, and waiting too long means you might lose your chance to do anything about it. While we can't give legal advice until you're officially our client, we can help you understand if you might have a case worth looking into.

Watch out for these warning signs:

• You got much worse after treatment instead of better
• Your recovery is taking way longer than the doctor said it would
• Hospital staff admitted they made mistakes
• The treatment isn't helping at all
• You're having strange side effects nobody warned you about

• All your medical records
• Details about your treatment plan
• Lists of medicines you were given
• Messages between you and your doctors
• Medical bills and other expenses
• Pay stubs if you missed work because of what happened
