At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over 40 years helping people just like you navigate the complex world of medical malpractice cases. We understand that dealing with medical injuries is overwhelming enough - you shouldn't have to figure out the legal system alone.
What Counts as Medical Malpractice in Kelso?Sometimes bad medical outcomes happen even with proper care. But when healthcare providers make preventable mistakes that harm patients, that's medical malpractice. Here in Kelso and throughout Cowlitz County, patients have legal rights when they're hurt by negligent medical care.
We often hear from patients who aren't sure if they have a case. They know something went wrong, but they're not certain if it qualifies as malpractice.

- Surgeons operating on the wrong body part or leaving instruments inside patients
- Doctors missing obvious signs of serious conditions like cancer or heart problems
- Pharmacists giving out wrong medications or wrong doses
- Preventable injuries to babies during birth
- Anesthesia errors causing brain damage or awareness during surgery
- Emergency rooms sending home patients having heart attacks or strokes
