Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Maplewood, WA

When you or a loved one has been harmed by a medical professional's mistake, it can turn your world upside down. Here in Maplewood, Washington, our team at Moseley Collins Law understands the physical, emotional, and financial toll that medical errors take on families. For over 40 years, we've stood beside patients and their families, helping them get answers and seek fair compensation for medical negligence.

When doctors, nurses, or other healthcare providers make mistakes that harm patients, it's called medical malpractice. While most healthcare workers do their best to provide good care, serious errors can happen. Sometimes these mistakes change lives forever.

Common Medical Mistakes That Lead to Lawsuits

We regularly help clients who have suffered from:

• Wrong surgeries or surgical items left inside patients
• Doctors missing or delaying important diagnoses
• Getting the wrong medicine or wrong dose
• Injuries to babies during pregnancy or birth
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Infections that shouldn't have happened in the hospital
• Mistakes in the emergency room when things are rushed
• Treatments done without properly explaining the risks

If you need immediate medical care, these facilities serve our area:

• MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital : Known for emergency care and specialized surgery
• St. Joseph Medical Center: Offers comprehensive medical services

The truth about medical mistakes is concerning:

• Research from Johns Hopkins shows that medical errors kill more Americans than everything except heart disease and cancer
• Hundreds of thousands of patients deal with preventable medical mistakes every year, according to studies in the Journal of Patient Safety
• Most medical malpractice cases start because doctors missed something important or got the diagnosis wrong
