Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Omak, WA

When doctors, nurses, or other healthcare providers make serious mistakes, lives change forever. Here in Omak and across Okanogan County, patients trust medical professionals with their health and wellbeing. But sometimes that trust is broken through careless errors or negligence. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand how devastating medical mistakes can be for patients and their families. For over 40 years, our dedicated legal team has stood up for victims of medical malpractice, fighting to get them the compensation and justice they deserve.

Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, hospital, or other healthcare provider fails to give proper care, leading to patient harm. While not every bad medical outcome is malpractice, healthcare providers must follow accepted standards of care. When they don't, and patients get hurt as a result, that's when you need an experienced medical malpractice lawyer on your side.

Let's look at some of the most frequent types of medical malpractice our firm handles:

• Mistakes during surgery - operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical tools inside patients
• Missing or delaying important diagnoses - especially for serious conditions like cancer
• Giving wrong medications or wrong doses
• Birth injuries affecting mothers and babies
• Problems with anesthesia during procedures
• Emergency room mistakes and delayed treatment
• Preventable infections from unclean hospital conditions
• Not telling patients about important risks before treatment

Our community relies on several healthcare facilities. While most provide good care, problems can happen at any facility:
