Lexington Medical Malpractice Lawyers

When you or a loved one suffers harm due to a medical professional's mistake, it can turn your whole world upside down. Here in Lexington, Washington, we understand how overwhelming it feels to deal with both recovery and legal matters at the same time. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over four decades helping people just like you navigate these difficult waters.

Think of medical malpractice as a breach of trust. When doctors, nurses, or other healthcare workers make mistakes that could have been prevented, and those mistakes hurt you or your family member, that's medical malpractice. Washington state has specific laws about this, and they're designed to protect patients like you.

We've seen many different types of medical errors over the years. Here are some of the most common ones:

• Operations performed on the wrong body part or wrong patient
• Missing important signs of serious illness
• Giving the wrong medicine or wrong dose
• Injuries during childbirth that harm mother or baby
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Getting sick from preventable hospital infections
• Mistakes in the emergency room when time is critical
• Not telling patients about important risks before treatment

We work with cases involving all major medical facilities around Lexington, including:

• Providence Regional Medical Center : Known for their emergency and surgical care
• Swedish Medical Center : One of our area's largest healthcare providers
• UW Medicine: Offering specialized treatments and research-based care

Let's talk about why this matters so much. Johns Hopkins Medicine found something shocking - medical mistakes are now the third biggest cause of death in our country. That's not just a number - it's thousands of families who have lost loved ones. The Journal of Patient Safety backs this up with their own research showing just how many patients get hurt by preventable mistakes every year.

When you call our office at 800-426-5546, you'll speak with caring professionals who understand what you're going through.

Sometimes people aren't sure if they have a case. Here are some situations that should raise concerns:

• Your doctor dismissed your symptoms and you got worse
• Treatment results were very different from what was promised
• Medical staff seemed confused about your care plan
• Important test results were ignored or lost
• You weren't told about serious risks before treatment

One of the toughest parts of any medical malpractice case is dealing with insurance companies. They often try to:

• Settle quickly before you know how serious things are
• Minimize the impact on your life
• Question whether your problems were really caused by the medical mistake
• Use confusing language to complicate things

We handle all these conversations so you can focus on getting better.

A strong medical malpractice case needs:

• Detailed medical records from before and after the incident
• Documentation of all your expenses and losses
• Evidence of how this has changed your daily life
• Clear timeline of events and medical decisions
