Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Summit View, WA

When a doctor's mistake turns your life upside down, you need someone who understands both the medical and legal aspects of your case. Here in Summit View, Washington, we at Moseley Collins Law have seen firsthand how medical errors can devastate families. For over four decades, we've stood beside patients who've been harmed by healthcare negligence, helping them navigate the complex path to recovery and justice.

Medical malpractice isn't just about bad outcomes – it's about preventable mistakes that hurt patients. Think of it like this: if a doctor or nurse does something (or fails to do something) that other healthcare providers would consider clearly wrong, and it causes harm, that's medical malpractice.

You'd be surprised how often these preventable errors happen:

• Wrong surgeries or surgery on the wrong body part
• Giving patients the wrong medicine or wrong dose
• Missing obvious signs of serious illness
• Mistakes during childbirth that hurt mom or baby
• Problems with anesthesia during surgery
• Rushed decisions in the emergency room
• Infections that spread because of poor hospital cleanliness
• Mix-ups with lab results or medical records

When you're dealing with a medical mistake in Summit View, you need someone who knows the local medical system inside and out. At Moseley Collins Law, we don't just read your medical records – we bring in top doctors from different specialties to review every detail.
