Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Summitview, WA

When a doctor's mistake turns your life upside down, you need someone who truly understands what you're going through. Here in Summitview, Washington, our team at Moseley Collins Law sees the real impact of medical errors every day. We've spent over four decades helping people just like you navigate the challenging journey of holding healthcare providers accountable for their mistakes.

Simply put, medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare worker makes a mistake that hurts you because they weren't being as careful as they should have been. Washington law protects patients like you when these mistakes happen, but the process can be tricky to handle on your own.
