Here in Hockinson and throughout Clark County, we've seen how medical mistakes can affect families - both emotionally and financially. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over four decades helping people just like you who have been hurt by medical negligence. We understand what you're going through, and we're here to help you find your way forward.

Medical malpractice isn't just about a treatment that didn't work out as hoped. It happens when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare providers don't follow standard medical practices, and their mistakes harm a patient. Washington state has specific laws that protect patients in these situations, but navigating them can be tricky without proper legal help.

The most frequent types of medical malpractice cases we handle include:

• Surgeons operating on the wrong body part or leaving instruments inside patients
• Doctors missing obvious signs of serious conditions like cancer or heart disease
• Pharmacy mistakes with medication types or doses
• Injuries to babies during pregnancy or delivery
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Rushed or careless emergency room treatment
• Doctors not explaining important risks before treatment

If you live in Hockinson, you probably receive care at one of these nearby facilities:

• PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center: A major hospital serving Clark County
• Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center: Known for emergency and specialty care
• Vancouver Clinic: Multiple locations offering various medical services

The effects of medical malpractice go far beyond just physical pain. Recent studies, including research from Johns Hopkins Medicine, show that medical errors kill more than 250,000 Americans every year. That's more than car accidents or workplace injuries.

When things go wrong, patients often face:

Physical Problems:

• Permanent disabilities that change daily life
• Brain injuries affecting memory and thinking
• Spine injuries leading to paralysis
• Damage to internal organs
• Serious infections
• Ongoing pain that won't go away
• Death in severe cases

Money Problems:

• Bills for extra medical care
• Lost paychecks from missing work
• Costs for physical therapy and rehabilitation
