When a doctor's mistake changes your life, you need someone who understands both the medical and legal sides of your case. Here in Midland, Washington, we at Moseley Collins Law have spent over four decades helping patients who've been hurt by medical errors. We know how overwhelming it can be to face mounting medical bills while trying to heal, and we're here to help you through this difficult time.
What Counts as Medical Malpractice in Washington?Sometimes bad medical outcomes happen even with proper care. But when a healthcare provider makes a preventable mistake that harms you, that's medical malpractice. Think of your surgeon operating on the wrong body part, or your doctor missing obvious signs of a serious illness that another doctor would have caught.
Medical Mistakes That Can Change LivesMedical malpractice comes in many forms:
- Operations performed on the wrong part of the body
- Missed or wrong diagnoses that delay proper treatment
- Wrong medications or incorrect doses
- Injuries to babies during birth
- Problems with anesthesia during surgery
- Infections from unclean hospital conditions
- Mistakes in emergency rooms when time is critical
- Moving forward with treatment without properly explaining risks
Our community is served by several major hospitals:
- MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital - Known for emergency and specialty care
- St. Joseph Medical Center - Offering comprehensive medical services
- Good Samaritan Hospital - Serving families throughout Pierce County
- Mary Bridge Children's Hospital - Specializing in pediatric care
- VA Puget Sound Health Care System - Serving our veterans
The numbers tell a shocking story. Recent studies show medical errors kill more Americans than anything except heart disease and cancer. This isn't just about statistics – it's about real people whose lives change forever because of preventable mistakes.
