Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Rochester, WA
When you visit a doctor or hospital, you trust them with your health and wellbeing. But sometimes, things go wrong. Here in Rochester, Washington, we at Moseley Collins Law understand how frightening and overwhelming it can be when medical care causes harm instead of healing. For over 40 years, we've stood beside patients and families who have faced the devastating effects of medical mistakes.
What is Medical Malpractice?Think of medical malpractice as a breach of trust. It happens when doctors, nurses, or other healthcare workers make mistakes that could have been prevented. These aren't just simple accidents - they're errors that fall below the standard of care that medical professionals should provide.
Types of Medical Mistakes We SeeIn our decades of experience, we've helped clients with many different types of medical errors:
- Operations performed on the wrong body part
- Leaving surgical tools inside patients
- Giving the wrong medicine or wrong dose
- Missing obvious signs of serious illness
- Problems during childbirth that harm mother or baby
- Mistakes with anesthesia
- Infections from unclean hospital conditions
- Not telling patients about important risks before treatment
Our community relies on several hospitals and medical centers for care. While most provide good service, problems can occur at any facility:
- Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia - Known for emergency and specialty care
- Capital Medical Center in Olympia - Offering surgical and general medical services
- Mason General Hospital in Shelton - Serving rural communities
- Summit Pacific Medical Center in Elma - Providing primary and emergency care
The harm from medical errors often goes beyond the initial injury. We've seen patients struggle with:
- Brain injuries that change their whole life
- Damage to the spine leading to paralysis
- Internal organ problems that never fully heal
- Dangerous infections that spread through the body
- Babies born with preventable injuries
- Deaths that shouldn't have happened
