Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Riverbend, WA

When doctors make mistakes, lives change forever. Here in Riverbend, Washington, we see it happen far too often - a routine procedure goes wrong, a diagnosis comes too late, or the wrong medication causes serious harm. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over 40 years helping people put their lives back together after medical mistakes. Our medical malpractice lawyers understand what you're going through, and we're here to help.

Think of medical malpractice as a broken promise. Healthcare providers promise to give care that meets certain standards. When they fall short and someone gets hurt, that's medical malpractice. While most doctors and nurses do their best, mistakes happen. Sometimes these mistakes change lives forever.

Every case is different, but some common problems we see include:

• Surgeons operating on the wrong body part or leaving tools inside patients
• Doctors missing obvious signs of cancer or heart disease
• Pharmacists giving out the wrong medicine or wrong dose
• Injuries to babies during childbirth
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Emergency rooms sending home patients having heart attacks
• Dangerous infections from unclean hospital equipment
• Doctors not explaining important risks before treatment

When healthcare providers make mistakes, the damage can be severe:

• Permanent brain damage from lack of oxygen
• Paralysis from spinal cord injuries
• Kidney, liver, or heart damage
• Babies born with preventable birth defects
• Deaths that shouldn't have happened
• Damaged nerves causing constant pain
• Infections that spread through the whole body
• Mental health problems from trauma

Ready for Trial if Needed

Time Limits Matter

In Washington, you have a limited time to file a medical malpractice lawsuit after the mistake happens. Sometimes you get more time if you couldn't have known about the problem right away. But don't wait - evidence can disappear and memories fade.

What You Need to Prove

Medical malpractice cases aren't simple. You need to show:

1. You were actually the doctor's patient
2. The doctor didn't do what a reasonable doctor would have done
3. Their mistake caused your injury
4. You suffered real harm because of it

Johns Hopkins researchers found that medical errors kill more Americans than anything except heart disease and cancer. Beyond the physical pain, families face:

• Mountains of medical bills
• Lost paychecks when they can't work
• Physical pain that doesn't go away
• Daily activities they can't do anymore
• Expensive long-term care needs
• Depression and anxiety

Deep Investigation

We don't just take the hospital's word for what happened. We:

• Get every page of your medical records
• Talk to witnesses who saw what happened
• Check if the hospital followed its own safety rules
• Compare your care to medical guidelines

Looking at All the Damage

We make sure to count every way the injury affected you:

• Doctor bills (now and in the future)
• Lost wages and benefits
• Physical therapy costs
• Changes needed to your home
• Physical pain
• Activities you can't enjoy anymore

First Steps

1. Write down everything you remember about your care
2. Get copies of your medical records
