Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Napavine, WA

Getting hurt by someone who's supposed to help you heal is a difficult experience. Here in Napavine, Washington, we've seen how medical mistakes can turn lives upside down. When doctors, nurses, or hospitals make serious errors, you need someone who understands both medicine and law to help make things right. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over 40 years helping people just like you get back on their feet after medical errors.

Sometimes, treatments don't work as hoped even when doctors do everything right. But when healthcare workers don't follow standard safety practices or make careless mistakes that hurt patients, that's medical malpractice. Washington law protects patients in these situations.

We regularly see cases involving:

• Surgery performed on the wrong body part or wrong patient
• Leaving medical tools inside patients after surgery
• Missing obvious signs of heart attacks or strokes
• Giving the wrong medicine or wrong dose
• Injuries to babies during birth
• Mistakes with anesthesia during surgery
• Poor care in emergency rooms leading to worse injuries
• Infections from unclean hospital conditions
• Not telling patients about serious risks before treatment
• Following the wrong treatment plan
• Sending patients home from the hospital too early

If you live in Napavine or nearby areas, you probably get your healthcare from one of these facilities:

• Providence Centralia Hospital - Known for emergency and general care
• Arbor Health Morton Hospital - Serving rural Lewis County
• Valley View Health Center - Centralia - Providing family medical care

The numbers are shocking. Research from Johns Hopkins Medicine shows medical errors kill more Americans than anything except heart disease and cancer. Between 210,000 and 440,000 patients die each year from preventable medical mistakes, according to the Journal of Patient Safety. That's like losing the entire population of Lewis County every few months.
