Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Prairie Heights, WA

Have you or a loved one suffered due to a medical mistake in Prairie Heights? No one expects to be harmed by the healthcare providers they trust. Yet when medical errors happen, your life can change in a moment. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand what you're going through and are here to help you navigate the complex process of seeking justice after medical negligence.

Medical malpractice happens when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare workers make preventable mistakes that harm patients. These cases are often complicated because they involve both medical and legal issues. Here in Prairie Heights and across Washington state, you need a lawyer who understands both aspects to effectively handle your case.

When investigating medical malpractice cases, we work with cases involving all local medical facilities, including:

• MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital - A major regional medical center providing emergency and specialty care
• Joseph Medical Center - Known for cardiac care and surgery services
• Virginia Mason Medical Center - Offering comprehensive medical and surgical care
• CHI Franciscan Health - A network of healthcare facilities serving the region

Every case is different, but some common types of medical malpractice we handle include:

Surgical Problems

• Operating on the wrong body part
• Leaving surgical tools inside patients
• Causing nerve damage during surgery
• Making anesthesia mistakes
• Post-surgical infections due to poor care

Diagnosis Issues

• Missing obvious signs of serious illness
• Mixing up test results
• Failing to order needed tests

Other Serious Medical Errors

Research tells a sobering story about medical errors in America. Recent findings published in the Journal of Patient Safety show that medical mistakes have become the third leading cause of death in our country - after heart disease and cancer. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reports that medical malpractice payouts topped $4 billion in recent years. Behind these numbers are real families whose lives have been changed forever by preventable medical errors.
