Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Steilacoom, WA

When you visit a doctor or hospital, you trust them with your health and sometimes your life. But what happens when that trust is broken through medical mistakes? Here in Steilacoom, Washington, many families face this difficult situation every year. At Moseley Collins Law, we've spent over four decades helping people just like you deal with the aftermath of medical errors and fight for the compensation they deserve.

Sometimes bad medical outcomes happen even with proper care. But when doctors, nurses, or hospitals make preventable mistakes that harm patients, that's medical malpractice. Washington law protects patients in these situations, but building a strong case takes both medical and legal knowledge.

Over our years helping patients, we've handled cases involving:

• Surgery mistakes like operating on the wrong body part or leaving tools inside patients
• Doctors missing obvious signs of serious illness or giving the wrong diagnosis
• Giving patients the wrong medicine or the wrong dose
• Injuries to babies during pregnancy or delivery
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Infections that spread because of unclean hospital conditions
• Emergency room staff missing life-threatening conditions
• Doctors not telling patients about important risks before treatment

Our community is served by several hospitals and medical centers. While most provide good care, mistakes can happen at any facility:

• MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital - A major regional medical center
• St. Clare Hospital - Serving Lakewood and surrounding areas
• Madigan Army Medical Center - Providing care for military members and families
• Western State Hospital - Mental health treatment facility

When you come to Moseley Collins Law, we take real steps to build your case:

We don't just take the hospital's word for what happened. We bring in independent doctors from different specialties to review your medical records and find exactly what went wrong. Having multiple expert opinions helps us build the strongest possible case.

We'll sit down with you, listen to what happened, and help you understand your options - all at no charge. While we can't give specific legal advice until we officially represent you, we can point you in the right direction even if we can't take your case.
