When a doctor's mistake turns your life upside down, you need someone who understands both the law and the devastating impact on your family. Here in Milton, Washington, our team at Moseley Collins Law has spent over four decades helping patients who've been harmed by medical negligence. We know that dealing with the aftermath of a medical error is overwhelming – you're trying to recover, manage mounting bills, and make sense of what went wrong.
What Counts as Medical Malpractice?Medical malpractice happens when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare providers make preventable mistakes that harm their patients. Here in Milton and throughout Pierce County, we regularly see cases where medical professionals failed to provide proper care, leading to serious injuries or worse.
Think of it this way: when you go to the doctor, you trust them to follow standard medical practices and make decisions that protect your health. When they break that trust through carelessness or poor judgment, that's when medical malpractice occurs.
