When medical treatment goes wrong, lives change forever. Here in Othello, Washington, we've seen how medical mistakes can devastate families - both emotionally and financially. At Moseley Collins Law, we've walked alongside hundreds of patients who have faced the challenging aftermath of medical negligence. With over 40 years of helping medical malpractice victims, we understand what you're going through.
What Is Medical Malpractice?Simply put, medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare worker makes a mistake that harms a patient. These mistakes must fall below the normal standard of care that any reasonable healthcare provider would give. Think of it like this - if most doctors would have acted differently in the same situation, and their different action would have prevented harm, you might have a medical malpractice case.
