Here at Moseley Collins Law, we've walked alongside countless families through their medical malpractice cases. For more than 40 years, we've been helping people just like you get back on their feet after medical errors have turned their lives upside down.
What Counts as Medical Malpractice in Port Townsend?Sometimes doctors make mistakes. But not every mistake is medical malpractice. In simple terms, medical malpractice happens when a healthcare worker - like a doctor, nurse, or therapist - makes a mistake that other healthcare workers wouldn't typically make, and that mistake hurts the patient.
Think of it this way: if most doctors would have done something differently in the same situation, and their way would have kept you safe, you might have a medical malpractice case.
Our Local Healthcare NetworkPort Townsend residents rely on several healthcare facilities for their medical needs. We're familiar with all of them:
- Jefferson Healthcare Medical Center: Our main hospital serving the peninsula
- Port Townsend Family Physicians: Primary care services
Nobody expects to come out of surgery worse than they went in. But it happens. We've seen cases where:
- Surgeons operated on the wrong body part
- Medical tools were left inside patients
- Anesthesia went wrong
- Infections spread because of unclean conditions
Sometimes the worst medical mistake is the one that hasn't happened yet. When doctors miss signs of serious illness, precious treatment time is lost. This includes:
- Cancer that wasn't caught early enough
- Heart attacks dismissed as anxiety
- Strokes mistaken for migraines
- Life-threatening infections overlooked
One wrong pill can change everything. We've handled cases involving:
- Prescriptions with dangerous drug interactions
- Wrong doses given to patients
- Medications given to the wrong patient
- Allergic reactions that should have been prevented
